Laura's house was very clean and neat. I loved decorations of arts there. I felt comfortable to stay there with Laura and her family members, felt like I was in my moms house. Cisco the dog was sweet. I miss Cisco.
Different route buses are running just a block away from her house. Going to Downtown Seattle, International District, University of Washington are so easy. It's only 10 minutes to Downtown and International District to get Asian foods, and 20 minutes to UW.
For walking distance, you can go to Walgreens and Starbucks in a minutes if you need urgent stuff. If you love sea food, Seattle Fish Guys is in 3 minutes. PCC Natural Market is 10-15 minutes walk or 5 minutes by bus.
I didn't drive but I could do everything without a car while I was staying at Laura's place. If you are in Seattle for business or study for a certain period of time, I'd recommend to staying there.
