Our trip to Seattle was made possible by Ann and her awesome apartment. My husband and I traveled with our 1½ year old son for the first time out of California and everything was perfect. The place is tucked away in a lush, hilly area with a beautiful garden and had all the amenities for our 12 night stay. Ann welcomed us warmly, providing us coffee from Lighthouse Roasters and tips on local grocery stores. She was accommodating (especially with the washer/dryer which we used many times), friendly, and respected our privacy. She was so kind as to let us pick raspberries in her garden and, on July 4, invite us to watch fireworks. The location is ideal. The walkability score is high and is central for getting to/from sites of interest in the Seattle area. Though we were mostly there to visit friends, family, and sight see, we also liked just hanging out in the apartment. It is clean and quiet with natural lighting. The kitchenware and appliances are good and allowed us to enjoy several delicious meals. The bed is comfortable and we all slept well. Usually we are not big on TV but the one in the apartment is incredible. We were there during World Cup and watched several games in high def on a huge quality screen. Overall great host and wonderful place as a base for a family vacation. My son called it “home” and at the end we didn’t want to leave!
