Gretchen was extremely welcoming and communicated well concerning key access and check in. The space was roomier than pictures would lead you to believe while still feeling very cozy, and all promised amenities were stocked; she even checked in very politely and periodically to see if we needed fresh towels or coffee etc. Those planning on staying out late should bring a flashlight for the side yard entrance. If you're not used to residential single lane and a half roads and parallel parking you will learn them quickly, even so the location is easily accessible from U-District or Ballard, and coming in from the 5. Coming back to the loft at the end of the day after a hike or city roaming was a highlight just in itself for my trip.
