We felt welcomed by our host, who gave us helpful suggestions about restaurants and other services in the neighborhood. The apartment was large, quiet, sunny, and in a pleasant neighborhood for walking. The bed was comfortable, and there were many books to look at or read. The studio was equipped with the basic necessities for being able to cook breakfast and warm up leftovers, and also had laundry facilities.

One of us is sensitive to fragrances, and we found it delightful that there were minimal fragrances in the studio (no air fresheners; and the sheets had been washed in an unscented detergent).

We were a little concerned with how long it would take us to get downtown or to other tourist areas, but with the help of Google maps, we were able to navigate the city reasonably easily and quickly. We would stay there again if we were visiting Seattle.
