Great location and wonderful host. The apartment is in the heart of Queen Anne, and a short eight-minute walk through the neighborhood to the Fremont area, with restaurants, bars, and live music. There is a nice view of Rainier from the living room window. If you feel like a hike, you can cross the Fremont Bridge and walk into downtown Seattle- about 3 miles.
The amenities are interesting and homey. Rita is a world traveler and there are books and mementos of her trips and adventures in the place. Rita herself is nearby and readily available to help with any questions.
I highly recommend Caravan Serai if you are staying in Seattle.
