This was a cosy suite on the ground (basement?) floor of a lovely old 3 story house. The owners live upstairs and like most basement suites you do hear a lot of activity and voices upstairs and presumably they can hear you too (I hope my rendition of The Doors' Light my Fire wasn't audible - if it was I'm so sorry! lol).
The other thing is that the unit is set fairly low, half a floor below street level, so there is no view/aspect to speak of and natural light is a bit limited. Once you get past that though it is a well equipped setup. It's quite small as the 2nd bedroom is taken up with beds - we had to relocate the living room furniture to make space for our suitcases and morning yoga sessions but it we figured it out in the end.
The owners were quick to respond to all our questions along the way and allowed us to leave our bags with them after check-out time which was appreciated.
Oh yes - the location. Wow, we were amazed when we walked outside in the morning to find unobstructed views to snow capped mountains both to the left and right. Seattle sure is blessed to have such natural beauty so close by. We were also pleased to find our fave organic vegan donut shop was within easy walking distance - we had no idea that was where we were until we looked at the map. (Check out Mighty-O, there aren't many cities in the world that host organic vegan donuts quite so extensively!!) Funky Fremont is also nice and close - managed to max out the credit card in just one day there. And getting to the city is easy peasy too because there is a freeway not so far away that whizzes you across really quickly. (Not close enough to see/hear but close enough to be super convenient). Getting to the airport took just 25mins and it was close to rush hour.
The auto lock on the door was also great - the code number is easy enough to memorize and it eliminates the need to fuss about with keys.
We cooked in the kitchen every morning and found just enough utensils / equipment to cover our needs. Everything was nice and clean too. Central heating meant we were nice and toasty even despite Seattle's cold winter nights.
All in all, this was a positive stay and is recommended for a low-mid budget stay in Seattle.
