Very professional host. Electronic locks make checking in a breeze. Instruction manual was thorough and helpful. For us, location was perfect. If you know Seattle, you need to be sure you know where you want to be. This area is convenient to campus, Fremont, and Wallingford, as well as Gas Works Park and the Burke-Gilman bike/walking trail. Beautiful view of Lake Union from the front porch. There is some noise from I-5 bridge, but that is impossible to escape if you want to be anywhere near there.

Beautiful inside and out. Again, it is a nice house for the neighborhood, but you need to understand this is a neighborhood of smaller, older cottages on small lots. Don't get me wrong, they are expensive due to the location, but these are older homes and tight spaces. That is just the way it is there, but things are walkable as a result. It is a true urban subdivision with access to some of the most amazing geography in the US.

Beds and bedrooms are comfortable. Bath is nice and well stocked with supplies and the "Jack and Jill" arrangement is helpful. Seating area is very relaxing. The kitchen...well, it is the best stocked and best organized kitchen in America. Again, it is older and smaller, but EVERYTHING is there and it is all labeled and organized. We have started our own kitchen reorganization because we were shamed into it! New grill on the back deck too.

North of Lake Union is a great place to stay and base your tour of Seattle and the larger Washington area. This place is outstanding within that area.
