Selfishly I would prefer not to give Diane's place the rave review it deserves because, in doing so, I may have to compete with more guests for a reservation. Her cottage is terrific. Our most recent stay was over Christmas and when we arrived there was a wreath on the front door and a decorated Christmas tree inside. These touches added to the cozy and warm feeling Diane's cottage exudes. The alley access provides privacy and a buffer to street noise. We have stayed here several times and this will be the first choice on our list for future Seattle visits.
