Rose's house is really a great place to stay in Seattle. It's around the corner from restaurants, a great cafe (Herkimer), a (pricey!) market, restaurants, and a bookstore. Easy walk to beautiful Green Lake, and an easy 10-15 min. drive to Capitol Hill/Downtown/Belltown. I was particularly impressed with how well-used the space in the house is. There are two sofas, ideally positioned in relation to the TV, a smartly eclectic library, an ample desk for getting work done, and even a piano. Views are great, especially from second floor bedroom balcony. Rose was also in contact with us continually, even though she was traveling internationally during our stay. E.g., when there was a clogged drain she responded in minutes, scheduled a plumber FIRST, then directed me to her stash of Drano which solved the problem, after which she cancelled the plumber. Highly recommend!
