Hellen's place is amazing. Far more spacious than the photos and very beautiful. It's a great place for a group or family as you can spread out. The location was great for us since we were in town for a wedding around Queen Anne area which was about 15/20 minutes drive. We also went out in the Ballard and Fremont districts which were about 15/20 minute drive.
There's a Whole Foods and a bar or two within walking distance. We felt very safe walking about.
Hellen is a great host! She was prompt, responsive and helpful. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a home away from home.
