Unlike many apartments in Seattle, this one is sunny with plenty of windows allowing a view of the garden. The kitchen is exceptionally well supplied with pans and implements, even good quality knives, which mattered to us because we stayed two weeks and did some cooking. The furnishings are so clean and new that we thought Ella had just begun hosting and were surprised to learn that she has been doing it for two years. There is a gym which allows drop-ins, a few restaurants, and a bus to downtown two blocks away. Coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries are available in 2 pleasant cafes 2 blocks away starting at 6 AM.
