I highly recommend the Peartree cottage and Joe as host. The cottage itself is spectacular and comfortable and the location at the western end of NW65th street so lovely, peaceful, quiet and yet with easy access to all that the city has to offer. I had a rental car and found the location the perfect starting off point for explorations north of Seattle. The quiet courtyard with water feature that is part of the rental is truly lovely and shaded from the afternoon sun - there were a couple of hot days during my stay so this cool spot added to the pleasure. All was absolutely perfect!
