The pictures do not capture the amazing design of this place, its convenience, and the spectacular views from the roof. Brian was a very welcoming and responsive host and the place was immaculate and comfortable. Amenities-wise, there was nothing we needed but did not have. We did not have a car in Seattle but we had no problem easily and quickly getting around. We used the bus system a lot and the bus stop was only a block or so away. There is also much to see close by. We recommend the interesting boat houses starting at the foot of the hill. From the roof, we located the one from the "Sleepless in Seattle"movie across the lake. I also watched several sea planes take off from the lake one morning and took in views of the downtown lights every evening.
