One short weekend in the Emerald City!
That was the plan for the family and I. A quick sojourn from Sunny San Diego to the Emerald City for comic-con and sightseeing. And what a great trip it was; from checking out wonderful eats and drinks, to exploring the underground and enjoying all the cosplayers in town for ECCC! All made better by the perfect clear skies and crisp weather mid-March gave us.
While I'm tempted to credit Tito and Margaret for the wonderful weather, I can say with absolute certainty that their hospitality would have made our trip bright and shiny regardless of rain or hail. Their home is truly a beautiful hideaway. Not in an isolated, leave-me-alone sorta way, but a very welcome and inviting space that you almost don't want to leave despite the beckoning of the beautiful lights and skyline of downtown Seattle - something easily visible from the deck, upstairs room, and even the kitchen window.
The two beds and the pull-out sofa were cozy and allowed us to get great rest. The bathrooms were awesome - I particularly loved the downstairs shower, but my sisters adored the large soaking tub in the master.
While Tito and Margaret live next door, they never intruded our space, and rather were very exceptional hosts. Tito met us at check-in and gave us a quick tour/rundown of the home. Being musicians, he spoke with true love and knowledge of Seattle's musical greats, and it made us fall all the more in love with the city. He was very responsive when the downstairs bathroom sink wouldn't drain, and fixed it lickety-split while we were out and about.
Overall, just a great home and great hospitality. The location was ideal to get in and out of the downtown area quickly, and was a quick drive to Capitol Hill where we hit some bars and clubs. I'm already thinking of planning another trip up to Seattle and hope that you don't book this house for when I need it. But if you did, I'd be jealous knowing how much more enhanced your trip's going to be!
