Joyce lives in my dream home, complete with this quirky little cottage out back. This is the perfect place to stay in the perfect uptown Seattle neighborhood, where no hotel options even exist (do not ever book The Wallingford Inn - sounds charming but is ill frequented). Nestled between Ballard and the U. District, Wallingford is well served by city bus within a few blocks and provides a quiet retreat within a quarter hour of downtown. I lived in this beautiful neighborhood for years and really, there is no place in Seattle I would rather be. Wallyhood has a walk score of 97. Great restaurants and beautiful Green Lake for strolling.

The cottage served my needs perfectly with a kitchen serviceable for storing and reheating food and making coffee, although there are so many great coffee shops within walking distance that you do yourself a diservice by making your own. Very comfortable bed and superior cable TV and internet. There is even a hot tub on the property that I wish I hadn't been too tired to take advantage of. I hope if the need arises, that I can stay here agin.
