This apartment was perfect for me! Everything was exactly as described, and felt more spacious than I expected. I was alone this trip, but can easily see bringing my husband and sons along next time. Checking in and out was a breeze. I felt very safe and at home in the space. Having a kitchen was a plus; I stopped at a store and purchased some items to make breakfast and coffee each day, which was a great way to get started before heading out exploring the city and surrounding areas. The location was absolutely the best: I was a 5 min drive to downtown Seattle (could walk), and there are multiple restaurants and establishments within an easy walking distance. I found a couple good spots to eat on 15th Street, fairly close. In her description, Elizabeth mentions their bird, but I have to say, I rarely heard it, and when I did it was a soft and lovely sound. I kept to myself for the most part, and was in and out of the apartment during my stay. I met Elizabeth the first day, and Chris came out as I was leaving to say good-bye. They are both gracious hosts, and are as available as you need them to be, but give you your privacy. Any questions I had I e-mailed and received a reply immediately.
As my daughter is now a Seattle resident, I will be back often, and I know exactly where I will be staying. This is soon to become my home in Seattle.
Thanks again to Elizabeth and Chris!
