Melissa’s home is lovely and situated perfectly for a real taste of Seattle. We were in close proximity to everything we wanted to accomplish during our stay. We were even able to come back after a days excursions, rest up and head back out to do more! There is a microwave-great for heating leftovers, vs heating up the oven, as there is no toaster oven for smaller items.. We had no issues finding parking at any time of day or evening, which was important to us. Even tho Melissa herself was away she managed to always answer any questions we had promptly. The one downside for me was a lack of washer and dryer since I usually pack very little and wash while I am away, but that’s a personal preference. All in all, a nice experience!
