We felt at home instantly in Jil's Green lake apartment. The area has shopping, restaurants and transportation near by and worked well for our day trips to downtown Seattle, Mt Rainer,Tacoma and Olympia Washington. One bedroom basement apartment, it was apparent immediately that an artist was involved in the decor which displays four of Jil's rice paper shades. Each shade is a work of art. The kitchen worked for fixing breakfast(could be used for lunch and dinner as well) and the garden provides a nice space for morning coffee. All this including a private off street spot to park the car, we have found a getaway place in Seattle.
