The location of Kathy's place was ideal to our travel - this is the main reason why we chose to stay at the cottage. We are not local and this neighborhood seems to reside in the periphery of city with a pleasant and quiet environment yet only a short commute to many touristy spots. The cottage has been indeed an enjoyable aspect of our Seattle trip. It is well maintained and welcoming and gives an extremely "home" feel, and the images in the listing probably "understates" how pleasant it is to stay at Kathy's place. The cottage has thoughtful touches and provided a comfortable stay for our trip. We would definitely not hesitate to recommend to our friends or stay again if we come back in the near future.
