This lovely apartment is a world away, right in Seattle. The setting is wonderful: close enough to downtown to be convenient, while feeling like a private retreat in the Northwest woods. Carkeek Park is just a few minutes away, and during my stay I enjoyed a scenic, restorative trail run there: a mix of beach, hills and dense forests... like stepping into "Lord of the Rings." The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful; I slept wonderfully during my stay.
The apartment itself is a lovely jewel box of a property: peaceful, sunlit sitting room with small but well equipped kitchen; a luxurious bathroom with a shower stall and claw-foot bathtub; and a bedroom that looks out on a tranquil backyard.
Laura was helpful from start to finish, and provided instructions that made it easy for me to check in and out on my own (slightly odd) schedule, which was great because I was on a business trip and had some strangely timed flights. She also, very kindly, stocked the pantry with some snacks before my arrival; this was greatly appreciated as I didn't have time to stop by the grocery store until day 3 of my trip.
Laura has established a comfortable, welcoming, well-located place to stay in Seattle. Often I return home from business trips needing time to recharge, but her place was so comfortable that I am already looking forward to my next Seattle trip. Thank you!
