Staying at Marcells upstairs apartment was perfect. Unfortunately, the Mister and I were only there for one evening and we wish we could've stayed longer! The house is tucked away in a little neighborhood that backs up to a greenbelt (though we didn't have time to utilized it gor a walk), the apartment was actually better than expected as it is larger than it appears in the photos, has a large private deck, and is filled with various mixed-media art by Marcell. The pieces are made of repurposed material, lovely looking, and some of them are even interactive! :) Marcell was very nice and accomodating, we had a few chats-he was just great and he reminded us of a good friend back home. He had towels laid out on the bed when I arrived, gave me a tour of the place, provided tea/coffee/almond milk/various delicious cereals/bathroom necessities, all the kitchen items you could think of, gave suggestions for bars and restaurants, let us pick so many homegrown tomatoes from the garden, allowed use of his home washer and dryer, and kindly let me back inside the apartment after I accidentally locked myself out in the later hours of the evening. :) The location is ideal; away from the hustle of downtown Seattle but within a 20 minute drive of both there and the airport. And the most mind-blowingly comfortable, fabulous couch resides in this apartment. Seriously its the best couch I've ever sat/napped on. This is where you wanna stay- overnight was great but a longer visit would have been even better.
