This was a great home to stay at in the Fremont area. It was within walking distance to a lot of breweries and restaurants, as well as a dog park by Green Lake. I was fortunate to be able to bring my German Shepherd, and she felt right at home the minute we got there. The house definitely has a Seattle vibe to it, and the bed I slept in in the room above the garage was very comfy. The hot tub was very relaxing and a nice way to counter the chilly evening weather. Like you might expect for this area, though, it doesn't have the most private backyard as lots of other taller homes surround it, but that wasn't an issue for me. Also, despite what I had read about Seattle parking laws, it is OK to parallel park in the street in such a way that you block the mini driveway in front of the garage. For some reason I thought I had to park perpendicular to the garage to avoid getting a ticket. In any case, I didn't have a problem finding adequate space to park with my midsize truck. Definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a house that is close to the city center but not so close that you can't have peace and quiet. This neighborhood seemed like a safe and quiet area overall.
