We had a wonderful stay at this property. After getting detailed instructions by mail, we were able to check ourselves in without any problems and even so Ron stopped by to make sure we got in OK. Since there were only four of us, we never even used the downstairs apartment. The rest of the house was very spacious and beautifully appointed with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of light and provided an amazing view of the city, exactly as advertised. The kitchen was super well equipped with modern appliances and provided everything we needed to have breakfast and dinner with a spectacular view of the Space Needle every day. Despite its convenient proximity to the Seattle Center and downtown areas, the neighborhood is residential, so it was very quiet and there was always street parking available right by the house. We were able to walk to restaurants (though the steep Queen Anne hill is not for the faint of heart - or foot!) and a fabuluous local grocery store was less than five minutes away by car. The house also had other amenities we appreciated, such as the various bathrooms and the extra large washer and dryer. The beds were large and very comfortable with luxurious Egyptian cotton linens. Since we were very lucky to encounter fabulous weather in Seattle, we were also able to enjoy the two upstairs balconies as well as the little patio where a table and two chairs were enough to make our kids happy playing card games there. It did get quite hot in the upstairs bedrooms, though - the ceiling fan in the master bedroom and the extra fan that was provided in the second bedroom could only do so much to battle temperatures around 90. Still, the view was too nice to be given up in order to move into the downstairs bedroom! Overall, we absolutely loved this property and would recommend it without a moment's hesitation.
