The most remarkable thing about Seattle is not the razzle of America's high-tech mecca; instead, it is its extraordinary people. They came first on boats, and apparently if you survived the trip you were considered to belong here, an ethic that seems to continue to foster the City's diversity. From the early Nordic settlers to its most recent recruits they have created "a city of neighborhoods." Ronda's Firefly Cottage is conveniently situated on the edge of Phinney Ridge within walking distance of Woodland Park and Greenlake, which I find to be the living heart of the true spirit of this remarkable City. You can best experience Seattle by strolling its friendly neighborhoods and pretending that you too are lucky enough to live here. You would be crazy to rent a car when you can ride Seattle clean and efficient transit system or grab Uber is a heartbeat. The cottage is private and removed from the quiet​ street. It is clean, charmingly decorated, with comfortable beds, and it checks off every requirement for what you expect from a well organized and fully stocked Airbnb.
