Charlie's place is great! You can't beat the location, it's central and yet just feels like a quiet slice of life in a neighborhood on the water. The classic Seattle craftsman house is open and bright and newly remodeled (in fact, minor parts were still in progress) with a minimalist, modern feel. I made a very last minute reservation so Charlie was out of town but his dad Kevin made me feel welcome and checked in regularly and even brought by some chairs for the porch because it was nice out. Whether you're visiting Seattle or from Seattle, this is a great place for 1 or 2 people to kick their feet up and while away the evening watching the passing boats, bikers, joggers, and walkers.
