You can pay through the nose for some generic hotel room downtown, OR, stay in a cozy home full of character, sweet cats, and nice hosts, in the best part of Seattle within a 5 minute walk of fantastic gay bars, "whoever" bars, and probably the best French/ Steakhouse I have ever dined in. Kevin and Louis are the nicest, it was a quiet peaceful place to call home for a couple days and they were always available for questions or just friendly chat.
