Miramar is a quiet little nook close to the growing hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle. We stayed for three nights in early August and were pleasantly surprised with how the basement apartment is fully furnished, down to the binoculars to enjoy the view! It is like coming home every night, most everything you take for granted in your home that you miss while traveling is provided.
There is no central air in the listing, which worried my partner who loves his A/C, but there is a window unit that easily cools down the space. There is great attention to detail in this place, down to the little book exchange in the bedroom for guests and the informational binder kept on the refrigerator loaded with specifics on the apartment and tips for getting around Seattle.
We had planned on using the water taxi to get to/from downtown Seattle each day, but when we arrived the service was down. Uber proved to be an excellent alternative, with rides from $12-18 straight to Pike's Place Market from your driveway. We even walked to Alki Beach for breakfast one morning, so transportation was never an issue even with its west Seattle location.
Last, but certainly not least, is the amazing walk-out patio with a view out over the water. I can't do it justice here, but it was the highlight of our stay at Miramar to sit out on the patio with coffee in the morning and with a glass of wine at night to watch the sunrise/set.
Michelle is extremely friendly and we are thankful to her for opening up her home to us!
