This is a great place to stay to feel like you are close to nature and yet minutes from the city. The bus stop is just up a few blocks and stops right downtown if you don't want to hassle with parking. Carkeek park is a gem and we enjoyed several sunsets from the beach there. We are to used to sleeping in a king bed so the double bed in the bedroom was an adjustment but the other window bed was a nice option to have. We enjoyed reading and lounging in that space. We didn't cook while we were there but the kitchen was fully equipped to do so. We will certainly return here on future trips to Seattle!
