Ginny is a lovely host and a talented artist. Her counsel was excellent and her kindness sincere. The apartment is filled with her art which sets the mood for a vacation. The area is a quiet oasis from the hustle of Seattle studded with lots of coffee shops and shops as well as a Sunday Market. We brought a car up from Portland; parking close to Ginny's is precious, but we found parking in the neighborhood around 61st Street. It was also easy to catch a bus down to piers and Seattle Center. The kitchen area provided us the option of dining in for some meals and coffee immediately upon rising.
