Nicole and Josh were lovely and generous hosts, and the apartment was indeed a cozy, well-equipped and comfortable nest for our month-long stay in the Seattle area. Madrona is a quietly beautiful, tree-lined and very walkable neighborhood situated above Lake Washington with views of the snow-capped Cascade Range. We relished morning strolls to Hi Spot for the best scones and London Fogs (not to mention, brunch!) in town, and enjoyed longer walks to nearby Volunteer Park, Washington Arboretum and Madison Park. As avid walkers, location is everything, and this sweet apartment provides a terrific home base for exploring all that Seattle has to offer. We’re already planning our return visit!
