If you're looking for peace and quiet without sacrificing proximity to shops and parks then this is the place. I stayed here for a month with my pup and we really appreciated being within walking distance or a short drive to a couple of great parks (Magnuson Park and Matthews Beach Park). Grocery shopping is a short drive away for multiple options and the Green Lake area is close which is a great place to take walks or hang out at a cafe. Ballard is also super close which has a little more activity but still quaint. The space itself is private and has everything you need. There are big windows which let in a lot of light (when there is light in Seattle). Alissa and Arthur were very responsive and helpful if I ever needed anything. If I return to Seattle I would be happy to stay here again.
