Andy's place was the perfect refuge for our inaugural trip to Seattle. The accommodations were clean (major bonus points) and filled with thoughtful touches (coffee, fresh cream, snacks, Brita pitcher). We loved the decor and access to outdoor seating. Every once in a while we could hear people walking in the house above us, but it was never bothersome. Our place was quiet, since there's no TV, and we spent a majority of our time at Andy's place reading, cooking, sitting outside, and talking - it was magical!
Not knowing much about the different Seattle neighborhoods, East Queen Anne is quiet, family-friendly, and a great mid-point between activities like Pike Place Market, Capitol Hill's dinning/restaurant scene, and Gas Works Park in Fremont. The neighborhood was fun to walk around in and admire the beautiful houses and parks.
Seattle is incredibly hilly, and the Queen Anne area is no different - your calves will thank you for it! Andy's place is a short distance from grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants - perfect for those looking for convenience! For most of our sightseeing activities, we did a combination of Lyfts/Ubers, walking, and biking. The rental bikes in Seattle were one of our favorite parts of our trip - they're cheap and easy to find! Note: make sure to check the topography of where you'd like to bike - we tried to stick to downhill traveling on bikes as best we could.
Andy was attentive to our questions and messages, flexible with our travel timing, and an overall great host (so was Jane!). I highly recommend Andy's place to anyone who wants quality accommodations in a quieter, yet still accessible, location.
