Emmanuel's place is even better than described.He and Gbemi are the kindest,most thoughtful people imaginable. When on our first Sunday in Seattle our Uber driver failed to turn up ..Emmanuel drove us to the opera house so we did not miss our daughter's performance as Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto. We had travelled from the UK for this!
Such kindness was typical of Gbemi and Emmanuel ,their warmth and generosity of spirit was immeasurable .They have 2 delightful children a credit to them.
Cozy Retreat is just that...situated close to independent shops, bakeries ,supermarket ,pharmacies and an overwhelming choice of restaurants offering international cuisine ..ranging from Vegan to Thai ,Afghan ,Afro Caribbean and everything in between .Not to ention Milly Moos Ice Cream Parlour and Seattle Popsicles...and a lovely Italian restaurant is just on the corner of the street!
We just loved walking along 45 street taking in the smiles,sights and sounds of the lovely Wallingford area and its people .You have to experience it to appreciate it.
Cozy Retreat is ideally situated for Green Lake,Gas Works Park and Woodland Zoo...all are within walking distance and we visited both of the latter. In particular loved the environmentally friendly zoo with its conservation programmes ,orangatans,silver backed gorilla and grizzlies !
As for Cozy Retreat itself .. It has been beautifully renovated ,is in superb condition and spotlessly clean .Perfect .....long or short stay .....you have everything you need from iron to induction hob,Alexa and lots of entertainment ...cable tv, DVD player and board games/books. So many thoughtful touches ....plants ,welcome pack, toiletries,environmentally cleaning materials etc.
Cozy Retreat is very tastefully decorated with all the kitchen /dining / bathroom accessories you need. Highlights ? So many ...but the fabulous bed ...Probably the most comfortable we have ever slept in ( no wonder we 'slept in' so often ) is definitely one ..together with the fabulous shower/ bathroom.
Security is great ..keyless code access made us feel really safe ..and we had no worries about mislaying keys etc.
Absolutely...... very highly recommend Emmanuel & Gbemi's place ....and we have already done so .Would love to return 🤗
