I had a very nice stay at Portage Bay Guest Cottage. It is close to many of Seattle's destinations like University of Washington and the U-District, South Lake Union, and Capitol Hill. Two of the major bus routes (49 & 70) have stops within a two minute walk of the cottage. The inside is clean, modern and cozy. The size is modest, which was perfect for me since I spent nearly all of my spare time out and about. I would definitely stay again.
