Cozy and warm and close to the bus line that goes out to the University of Washington and downtown in the other direction. You can get most places on bus #70 from Eastlake Ave. The Eastlake neighborhood is very nice. Stroll down to Lake Union at sunset and be sure to visit Mort’s Cabin (store) if you are in Seattle on a Saturday. He sells all kinds of things. Museums are the best places to spend gray Seattle winter days, in my opinion. The MOHAI has an amazing exhibit on Davinci right now and the Seattle Art Museum, a wonderful exhibit of works by the famous photographer Imogene Cunningham. Enjoy your stay!
