My group of three spent a week at Charlie's place and it was a wonderful choice. The view is just gorgeous and was what initially sold me on the place -- I used to live there and was bringing friends so it was important to me to show off Seattle in its best light. Charlie's place was that and more, and there's a lot more going for the house than I realized from the pictures. For one, the bathroom and kitchen are impressive -- they're both newly remodeled and the kitchen was fully stocked. The backyard was a delightful place to grill at the end of the day and spend some time reading in the hammock. And the bed! Charlie's place has one of the nicest beds I've ever slept in.
The location is great. A bit of a walk if you're on foot, but a very pleasant one, as walking along the Burke Gilman trail will take you anywhere you'd want to go. If you stay here, do not miss Westward, a restaurant and bar with a beautiful patio on Lake Union, literally a four minute walk from the house down on the waterfront. It's the closest establishment to the house and also happens to be one of the most charming places you'll visit in Seattle. Enjoy!
