The cottage was awesome and just what I needed! Perfect for a solo traveler or couple. Safe and quiet area. 20 minute walk to the light rail and less than 10 minutes to walk to restaurants or grocery at U Village. Kathy is a phenomenal host. She shared Christmas cookies with me! It also snowed and was colder than usual in Seattle for December. I must note that the heater in the cottage worked very well! 10/10 would book again.
