It's hard to say, after all of the amazing reviews, that it was even better than we expected ... but it was! Laurie has thought of everything we could have possibly needed, and it was all there. The wonderful assortment of books (wish we had time to read more of them), the incredibly well-furnished kitchen, the super-comfortable bed ... and the great location all combined to make our stay perfect. Ken's, a high-end market, is just a few blocks away, and Green Lake with it's beautiful walking trail, is nearby. Access to downtown is readily available, and the neighborhood is very safe and very beautiful. A perfect choice for a perfect stay in Seattle!
