I would recommend staying here even if you plan to be downtown. You have parking right in the driveway, and the downtown express bus stop is only two blocks away and drops you off one block from Pike Place Market! It couldn't have been any easier to navigate. It was nice at the end of a long day to come home to the quiet and cute neighborhood and get to spend some time in Fremont. This place felt like a warm cozy cottage tucked away in a garden.
