I couldn't imagine a better place to stay when visiting Seattle. The accommodation Mariana offers is fully and comfortably equipped for a night or month long visit; the bed is a very bit as comfy as others reviews reported, the place is spotless with every amenity I needed and Mariana was a warm and gracious host even when she had to rescue me in the rain when I misremembered my own phone number. Unlike many basement apartments, two windows bring in lots of light in the sitting area and Mariana has decorated in warm tones and added many interesting small lamps so it never felt dark. Plenty of storage and a full size washer and dryer which I've never found before. I loved the residential location not too far from coffee shops and restaurants, a park and famous cemetery and many lovely walkable streets with Arts and Crafts architecture and lush gardens. The city is only minutes away on a few different buses that stop very close by. Though I was in Seattle to visit my son, I also had a real vacation in this tranquil spot and only wish the weather had allowed me to enjoy the lovely garden. This will definitely be my go to spot when I next visit Seattle.
