Having been to Seattle several times in the past and having friends and relatives who live in the area we thought we had experienced most of what this great city has to offer. Therefore it's a real pleasure to discover something new to experience. This north Capitol Hill neighborhood is great! Close to all the tourist attractions and some great shops, restaurants and parks, Matthew's home is an ideal pick for anyone who wants a quiet and convenient place to stay. Matthew is both hospitable and knowledgeable and he makes sure everything is just perfect. The photos of the house are completely accurate. If that isn't enough to persuade you to stay here how about plenty of free street parking?! lol Some tips: On a beautiful sunny morning take a stroll along the lovely streets and take in the historic architecture and lush gardens. Definitely make a stop at the Volunteer Park Cafe (just a block away) and enjoy a delicious breakfast. The cinnamon rolls are the best we've ever had! Three blocks away Volunteer Park has the Conservatory, the Water Tower (best free observation site in Seattle - note: the Space Needle is $29!) and the Seattle Asian Art Museum (unfortunately closed now for renovations). For film and martial arts buffs the gravesites of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee is at Lake View Cemetery adjacent to Volunteer Park.
