The casita is really well-appointed. The hosts have thought of everything. We were a couple traveling with a medium-sized dog, and we fit cozily in the unit. The onsite parking was a real plus, and there's a waterfront park with a large grassy area just steps from the house. It's about a ten to fifteen minute drive into downtown Seattle, depending on traffic. We definitely recommend the unit to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay while in Seattle.
