The cottage was just as represented and very comfortable. The location is very convenient to public transportation and is in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Seattle. Walk a few steps and you'll see views of the bay and multi million dollar mansions. There is a Trader Joe's very close as well as an Italian restaurant, coffee shop and ice cream store. We walked to all of these. What else does one need?? Nearby there are other nice restaurants and shops to which you can drive in 5 minutes or less. There is a parking place for your car if you have one but it seemed street parking would have been easily available as well. If you are fairly active you can walk to the city and waterfront, but would likely want to take the bus or a cab (around 10.00 each way) back up the very steep hill to get home. The cottage was clean and Annie was responsive and quick to address concerns and questions. I will definitely book this cottage again if I find myself back in Seattle.
