My first trip to Seattle and it could not have been more perfect. Catherine's home felt like staying with friends. The apartment is spacious, well located and very comfortable. Catherine's personal touches were truly appreciated-from the local recommendations (shopping/restaurants) to the delicious fruits, baked treats, tea/coffee, homemade jams and chutneys in the fridge. She is a generous and thoughtful host. The views from the apartment are lovely and I did not find parking a problem. I will be back.
