Joe's place is just awesome! There's no other word for it. It is beautifully restored and decorated, very clean with excellent amenities. There were plenty of extra towels, kitchen very well equipped, etc. The off-street parking was very much appreciated due to the difficult parking in Seattle. The place is an easy walk to lots of trendy restaurants, while still being in a quiet residential neighborhood. Check-in instructions were sent well in advance and were very easy to follow. We did not have any reason to call the owner while we were there, but I am sure communication would have been great. Very close to downtown. Highly recommended!
