Kathleen's little Garden Cottage was the perfect accommodation for us while we were in Seattle to watch the Mariners and Blue Jays, and Kathleen was the perfect host! She was flexible on our arrival time (we got caught up in traffic and decided to stop somewhere for dinner first), gave us a little tour and told us about transit to get around during our visit, and even left us a french press and local coffee to enjoy in the mornings.

The cottage was clean and tidy, and equipped with everything we needed, including a washer/dryer which really came in handy during our 5 day visit. The area is very quiet which was nice after exploring the city during the day, and mornings spent enjoying a cup of coffee on the little patio in the backyard were very relaxing. Kathleen also invited us to enjoy the grapes that were growing on the vines out front, and tomatoes in the back. There were also wild blackberries growing just down the street which was a nice treat.

Getting around was very easy from this location. Transit is just a couple blocks away, as well as a free shuttle to the water taxi / alki beach area. We chose to drive downtown a couple of times too, which was just over the bridge. We also spent some time in West Seattle, along Alki beach and The Junction. There was also a 24 hour grocery store a short drive away.

We loved staying at Kathleen's cute little Garden Cottage, and would definitely stay there again. I wish we had more time to spend at the cottage! We highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting a quiet place to stay that is still close enough to everything. And having a friendly, thoughtful host like Kathleen really made our first AirBnb experience a memorable one!
