we certainly enjoyed our stay at Julie's place. the unit was equipped with everything needed for comfortable vacation or gateway. this unit was very clean and organized . it is at older neiborhood of Seattle but it has character and sense of community. there are many attractions within 15 minutes. we enjoyed parks and beaches nearby. Downtown Seattle is about 15 to 25 minutes depending on the time of day and traffic. we loved the experience and appreciate Julie and Matthew's guidance and help in exploring Seattle
