We very much enjoyed our stay at Rose's cottage, and would definitely consider it for our future visits to Seattle.

This is a cheerful sort of place, well-designed, bright and tidy -- actually, it's immaculately clean -- nicely equipped if you plan to do your own cooking, located in a quiet neighborhood.

Rose welcomed us on arrival and then politely left us to our own devices. The wi-fi connection was good, there was an excellent coffee shop just two blocks away (but where in Seattle can't you say that?). The bathroom has a nice shower with a tub, one of the reasons we chose this apartment, and there's just the right amount of storage for a one-week stay.

If you're considering this place, we'd offer only one bit of advice to guide your thinking: You will need to be spry enough to climb the little ladder to the comfy loft bed -- and also to clamber down for a bathroom visit in the middle of the night. This was no problem for us, but might possibly be for some.

All and all, this was a delightful home base for our week in Seattle. Thank you, Rose Michelle, for putting so much thought and care into this place, and for making it available on airbnb!
