Diane's cottage is exactly as described and seen in the photos. Diane assured me prior to booking this was the best location for our stay in Seattle, and she was right. Our favorite thing about the cottage was its perfect location for our 3 day stay. The cottage is located in a lovely neighborhood. We didn't rent a car, so relied on walking,public transit,and uber. 1/2 block from the cottage is a wonderful bakery called Macrina Bakery where we enjoyed breakfast and coffee, right across from bakery is a delicious little taco restaurant and on the corner a nice grocery store where we could purchase all we needed. The bus stop to downtown is also just 1/2 block away. A little further walk...about 1/2 mile the other direction we found Zeeks Pizza ..great pizza and outdoor seating...and right across the street is Trader Joe's. If you are there on a Thursday evening, you will also be a short walk to the local Farmers Market where you can also find great food. (not sure if the Farmers Market is year round or seasonal.) Also,About a mile or two walk from the cottage is a beautiful lookout over the bay and ports of Seattle. Dianne responded quickly when we had any questions. The cottage is private, with a nice little patio, it backs to an alley....where there is parking space for a car. The close neighbors where occasionally noisy talking and dog barking when they were home, but never enough to disturb us. I'm just being honest in my review...Stand alone Guest Cottage is a fantastic place to stay, a great host, and we would highly recommend. Loved it!
