A friend and I had a mini-vacation for a weekend in Seattle. The neighborhood is beautiful. You can walk to a great little cafe around the corner, to the main street a few blocks away with a number of restaurants and bars, and to Gasworks Park (highly recommended!). The apartment was clean and cozy, and had a good feel to it. Both the bed and futon were quite comfortable. The shower stall is a bit compact, which was fine for us, but might be a little more cumbersome for a bigger person. The kitchen is nicely appointed with pots, pans, cutting boards, sharp knives, etc. The smart lights are a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would absolutely choose Karen's place again.
