The upstairs apartment was perfect for my 9 day stay in Seattle. The location was very central to everything and in a wonderful neighborhood. The views from both front and back were beautiful, including the spacious deck out back and the greenbelt park across the street. The neighborhood is nice for walks. Marcell and his family have a wonderful flower and vegetable garden for your view out of the kitchen window. Everything I needed to feel like a home away from home, with plenty of bonuses in the apartment including great artwork, music, books and some instruments. Plenty of space to relax and do any work if needed. I slept like a dream in the comfortable bed. Marcell was a great host. I also appreciated the access to their laundry room. I would definitely recommend staying here for your Seattle experience. If the opportunity presents itself I would stay here again.
