Manuela is very welcoming yet shows full respect for her guests privacy. The apartment is perfectly described as an 'oasis'. It is a quiet, secret little niche just blocks from an otherwise noisy high traffic area, comforting and immaculately clean. The Fremont area is our favorite place to stay in our frequent trips to Seattle and the 'oasis' is our new home away from home...I was in no hurry to leave it.
