I arrived very late in the evening after a long drive from California but Nan greeted me and even helped me with my luggage. This is in a nice neighborhood on a steep hill. It is very close to the Fremont neighborhood, very hip and cool with a great PCC Market (Upscale Organic Coop) within walking distance along the canal. A couple of breakfast restaurants to choose from, again in walking distance. Busses pass close by and go to downtown Seattle or Ballard. Good access. We parked the car on the street and walked or bussed most places. Kitchen was great to have as we stayed 5 nights and cooked several meals 'at home'. Bathroom was a European style with open shower. Actually, I found I really liked this as the floor stayed clean. Bring shower sandals though for walking on the wet floor after. This does drain and dry fast in the summer when we were there. Tons of amenities were stocked throughout, even new toothbrushes. My fiancee and I loved the privacy as the cottage is on the back of the property. The path is uneven and because of the steep hill on the street, this location is not easy to access for anyone physically challenged. Also, pack suitcases lighter since there are a few steps to navigate. There are outdoor chairs to relax in the morning over tea or coffee. All in all, a wonderful find at a super price!
