The Rusty Gate was perfect for us. It is two blocks from our daughter's home, to which we walked every day. The apartment is well equipped, with full kitchen, nice bathroom, and very comfortable bed. We enjoyed the view of Mt. Rainier from the upstairs deck on the few sunny days (it is Seattle after all)....We would highly recommend this place, and hope to stay there again. We spent all our time in the Columbia City neighborhood where the apartment is located, but downtown is very accessible since the light rail is within walking distance. Thanks to Ann and Gerrit!
