Kate's place is within walking distance of the UW Medical Center and there are plenty of good eateries nearby as well. I love the early 1900's neighborhood with narrow streets. One should be able to find free parking within a block of her house. The neighborhood feels safe and the people are friendly. Kate's bedroom is in the basement and it was a very quiet and relaxing place to stay compared to most hotel rooms in a big city. I would definitely see if Kate's place is available next time I need to come to Seattle. Thanks Kate!
