Our stay at Sue's was excellent! The space was cozy and well equipped - provided umbrellas were a nice touch, and just basic things like extra towels, blankets, the washer/dryer, and plenty of kitchen supplies, including a wine bottle opener which came in handy! The TV had antenna service which actually was perfect for us to pick up local channels which had some football games we wanted to see in between our holiday plans.
Parking on the street was always available pretty much right in front of the house, which was especially great on some cold nights to only have to spend 30 seconds outside. Being a former Seattleite myself I know that some neighborhoods can be a pain for street parking, but we never had problems here.
We enjoyed walking around the arboretum as well as to the coffee shop just a couple blocks away - even though the weather was very cold during our visit, they were both so close that walking was no problem. Compared to other places where things are technically within walking distance but you'd probably rather drive - these were truly a short walk.
The neighborhood was also a good central location for us. We had family and friends to visit from North Seattle, Redmond, Capitol Hill, and Mercer Island and this was a perfect place to get to all these places easily, and got some holiday shopping in and good food right across the bridge in U Village.
Overall we had a great stay - thanks Sue!
