This smaller but deceptively spacious and well renovated house was perfect for my needs - I stayed here with my mother and my toddler for almost a week. The mini splits (most expensive but most effective & eco friendly option) that had been installed on the first floor for A/C were SO appreciated during the first of Seattle's warm summer days. The master bedroom in the basement stays naturally cool during the day, with its one window easily coverable with suction-cup blackout shades to facilitate toddler naps (we brought the shades ourselves). There's even a little closet at the top of the stairs with toys and books! We felt very secure with all the deadbolts. The location is beyond convenient - walking distance to Safeway (grocery), an amazing bakery, the nice cushy Eckstein Middle School track - it really makes one appreciate the urban planned neighborhoods of the '70s and '80s above the cut! Neighbors are super friendly - my toddler loved seeing the friendly dogs boarding at Doggie Lama a few doors down.
