Joyce's place was perfect for myself and my older parents as we were visiting family in Seattle. A cozy basement place that did not feel like a basement. She had many nice touches throughout the apartment that made the stay enjoyable. The futon bed is surprisingly comfortable (for an extra guest, the queen size bed is quite comfortable also). We loved the garden and the gas fireplace too. This will be our go to place going forward (after trying two others in past visits to the area)
