Erik's cottage is an amazing find. If you are reading this, and it's available for your dates - BOOK IT! Seriously, I didn't hesitate based on the reviews and I'm glad I snagged it. We kicked off our first trip to the PNW at the cottage and had all the freedom in the world with the courtyard, kitchen, parking spot and ability to walk to amazing restaurants, great taprooms and all the other Capitol Hill funtimes! Erik allowed us to ship our new camera and lenses to the address and had it waiting inside for us upon our arrival. The place had so much spunk and the laundry room was such great added value - we didn't realize how much we would need that! Also, the check out was super easy and painless. We hope to be back! Made such great memories exploring Seattle from our killer location at the Cottage!
