Jil offered a very warm greating (with a delicious slice of home-made pumpkin pie!!), and was extremely generous with her home. There is plenty to get up to in her neighbourhood, relaxing walks around the lake or checking out the local restauraunts, and downtown is just a short ride away on the bus. The apartment itself is stylish, impeccably clean, and welcoming (fresh flowers throughout the apartment). Jil has the kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies (pots, pans, utensils) and the grocery store is conviently only a block or two away. I would recommend staying here to anyone coming to Seattle wanting a comfortable place to temporarily call 'home'.
