I would give Cara's place 6 stars if I could! It was a fabulous place to stay, and just as described! Very clean and welcoming, with very thoughtful personal touches and details. It was easy for me to get around with just public transportation from Cara's place. Be sure to try the French bakery within walking distance! The bed was firm, but I found it extremely comfortable and slept fabulous. Since it is a basement apartment, you can hear some noises above, but I only did hear anything the first night and it was nothing I couldn't drown out with my white noise app. I was surprised to find a white noise machine provided as well, which I'm sure many guests appreciate. The neighborhood was great, and I always felt safe on my own. Cara was available not only messaged me to check to make sure I was enjoying my stay and had everything I needed, but she was always quick to respond when I had a question. Check in was super easy, even when I had a late flight arrival.
Cara's place had everything I needed for my solo weekend trip to Seattle, and I would love to stay here again!
