The apartment is clean and comfortable! The unit is well stocked with everything a family may need- including toys for the kiddos! I prefer neighborhoods like Wallingford when I visit Seattle. In addition to being more peaceful than downtown, you can still walk to restaurants, bars, shops, playgrounds, etc… The apartment is also well connected to public transportation, and downtown is a direct trip. Although there is no need to have a car, if you do drive to Seattle a guest pass for free street parking is available. Both nights I was able to secure a spot directly outside of the apartment. Samantha was an excellent host. Definitely would stay here again.
