Ralph's place is really nice and cozy.
His 1 bedroom in-law unit has fast wifi, a full size refrigerator, washer and dryer with several detergents choices and a fully stocked kitchen. There is ample free street parking. You do not need to bring oil, basic spices, cutlery or containers for your food. I love that he provided his guests with numerous thick dark colored towels. Plus, the water in the shower is really nice, strong and hot. His place is like home. He thinks of everything.
Ralph's place is centrally located to all the famous places. It is 15 minutes (by car) from the infamous Pike's Market, Chinatown and the Japanese market, Uwajimaya. Within walking distance are Zoka Coffee, a great local fair trade coffee shop, Hiroki, a fresh and light Japanese bakery and Mighty O's Donuts provides wonderful, out of this world donuts. If u love bread, I would like to recommend Sea Wolf Bakers. They have one of the best breads and pastries and are only 10 minutes by car from Ralph's place...
If I ever come back to Seattle again, I would definitely love to stay at Ralph's place!!! Thank you Ralph for everything!!
