We stayed at Lene's place for two nights, and it was perfect. The half basement apartment is self-sufficient and well-equipped. The rooms were tastefully decorated. Lene's son gave us good recommendation on where to eat around the neighborhood-- go to Cactus for some yummy Mexican food! The neighborhood is so beautiful and tranquil, within walking distance to a small beach right on Lake Washington. We had a car and it took us maybe 10-15 minutes to downtown along Madison Street, and it was a piece of cake! I highly recommend Lene's place! Thanks!
