Great experience! Very quiet and interesting neighborhood high up over the city and water. Famous view of city and Rainier from Kerry park only 2 blocks down the hill from the house.

All the restaurants and coffee houses you need are nearby on Queen Ann Ave or around the corner. Bed was comfortable and night was still cool for sleeping with a fan at the window even though we had 90 deg temperatures during the day. Pictures are accurate.

Though the hosts were not there for our one-day stay, the keys were easily accessible and Ralph sent us all the instructions we needed before-hand for the area and house. Had the whole first floor. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival. Even plug-strips were provided for charging electronics. Nice neighbors too. Very friendly neighborhood. Great stop off point before a cruise. The ports are only 2.5 mi away and $11 by Yellow cab. Arrival from airport is easy on the light rail to last stop downtown, but #2 or #13 bus can take quite some time and is hot in Summer. May want to take a cab from Downtown instead.

Easy bus ride to Space Needle but we decided to walk down the hill to the water trail, and got a real workout walking back up :-).
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and the weather was beautiful!
