If you're hesitating at all about renting this house, don't. It's gorgeous, clean, ideal for a family with a teen or two small kids, and the location couldn't have been more ideal. It was a 15 min walk to the water taxi and downtown Seattle yet seculded and quiet at night for relaxing and sleeping. The pictures don't do it justice. We didn't have a car and never needed one since restaurants and grocery stores were less than a half mile walk away through the gorgeous neighborhood. Michelle was a gracious, responsive and incredibly accomodating host. And last, but not least, the sunset views over the Sound were spectacular! We will definitely return if we come back to Seattle.
