Carrie's house is a gem in Seattle. It's in the Madrona area, and when you're driving to her place, you can see the lake and Bellevue across the water on a clear day. The actual apartment is set up with such care with ample space. There's a full kitchen with coffee and decaf tea. There's a nice counter space to sit at, and we turned it into a full computer work station. There are tons of plugs so it's easy to do! There's also a really nice TV and a comfy couch (to the point where we fell asleep on it a few times watching the tube).
The bathroom is really lovely as well with good water pressure and ample towels. The bedroom is a queen bed and it is also very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Being a basement apartment, it does get a little chilly, but in the bedroom and bathroom there are heaters that will warm up the room in no time.
The neighborhood is very cute Madrona. If you can brave a couple of steep hills (not too bad), it's less than a 10 minute walk to downtown Madrona. There you can enjoy some sweet cafes and wine bars, and even a Molly Moon ice cream parlor! I didn't try to use public transportation in the area, but I saw a bus that went by. The parking by the apartment is very easy; it's plentiful and free (in stark contrast to downtown Seattle).
Overall, the place was so comfortable that it felt like home to us for the few days we were there. I highly recommend Carrie's place!
