This is a great place in a very comfy area of Seattle. You will be very close to downtown, even if you like to walk more than taking any public transportation. If you are there for extended stay, you will have excellent option for grocery within walking distance, i.e. whole food, trader joe, safeway. For short stay, coffee shops (caffe flora) and pastry (belle epicurean) are within a mile. That will give the opportunity to indulge yourself and burn those calories on the way. Plenty of quite roads to go for a walk or run. A nice touch for the outdoor people is that the arboretum is just 1.25 miles away!! You will love the little porch outside (well you know Seattle and drizzle), but the indoor is cozy. The owner is a photographer, so nice decor! The kitchen is well furnished, so cook away. If you feel for some exercise, you can always use the hanging bar (nice touch) to get in shape for some climbing or core strength! Enjoy your stay!
