Ralph couldn't be there during the time of our stay, but he kept in constant contact with us via Airbnb. Our stay was VERY comfortable. The room was sparkling clean and airy. Down the hall we used the private laundry facilities, fridge, and microwave, and the whole place felt like home. The only difficult part is climbing up and down the stairs to the side door - LOL - but we soon found out that stairs are ubiquitous in Seattle! There is a 7-11 just a block away going north on Queen Anne Ave. N. and a Trader Joe's just a short distance farther for groceries. The buses are close by and take you right downtown. Incidentally, the bus drivers in Seattle had to be the friendliest I've ever seen! We actually walked downtown and really enjoyed it, especially as there is a lovely lookout area just a short distance from Ralph's place that afforded a breathtaking view of the Seattle Needle and the various ports below. I recommend staying here; the room was excellent and just as cozy as described.
