Karen's place is fantastic! The place was very clean and private for a getaway trip. The shower is upgraded, and as amazing as everyone says. Location is very walkable to most places around the city if you don't mind some hills. We were able to walk to the arboretum, volunteer park, Capitol Hill (great food), and even downtown/Pike Place if you're not in a hurry. Some reviews say that the house is on a busy street -- I would say the house is roadside, but is still decently quiet at night. The road is a single lane either direction.
