First of all, this stay is in the most lovely neighborhood! You can literally walk around the corner to get coffee, burgers, beer, and books; take a longer 15-20 min walk to the park/waterside. Second, the photos don't do justice. The entire place is surprisingly airy and well-lit. The carpet and appliances are well-maintained. The IKEA sofa bed is just as comfortable as the queen bed in the room. Bob is such a delight and welcomed me in wholeheartedly. Would definitely recommend this stay. I think you'd get a truer understanding of Seattle's charming neighborhoods, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.
