Erik could not have been a better host. We could not have picked a better place to stay. While small - and it is that, the cottage had every amenity we could have asked for. Our visit to Capitol Hill was wonderful because of the private garden, the outdoor cooking and dining options and the relaxed welcoming environment Erik creates for his guests. If you are a plant lover, you are in for a treat. The cottage is a urban oasis. The garden is delightful. My husband and I enjoyed several multiple day stays . Each time we returned to the cottage, it felt like we were returning home. Top shelf washer/dryer, large modern bathroom, books, music, refrigerator, washer /dryer, great coffee and a great coffee maker all somehow packed efficiently into a small space. And, what’s not to like about the new, large modern bathroom addition? It even has heated towel bars. Erik even provides off street parking, an incredible option in Seattle. Nearby grocery shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and a wine bar made our stay a very pleasant one. I recommend Erik’s cottage wholeheartedly.
