Melissa's place was wonderful. It was just as the listing and other guests described. My family of 5 went to enjoy the standard Seattle tourist attractions. The cottage was very comfortable for the 5 of us. It was cozy, tastefully decorated, and had well thought out amenities! Maybe a 15- 20 minute drive to the city, an enjoyable drive at that, with so much to see along the way! We rented a car and did not rely on public transportation, we had no problem parking at the cottage. I would definitely reccomend the cottage and I would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area. The only thing that threw me off was the electric heat, something we are not used to in Colorado and California. Separate heaters in each room. The house guide described how to work them. It did take a bout 1 1/2-2 hours for the cottage to warm up, as we arrived late at night in November. Once we figured it out the interior temp was perfect the rest of our stay.
