This is a terrific escape or a good base for checking out Seattle. The apartment is sparkling clean, filled with nice touches (heated bathroom floors!) and in a gorgeous neighborhood. Andrew's page has a great Seattle recommendations list--be sure to visit Kerry Park for the great view; you can walk there from the house in 30 mins with a bunch of coffee/restaurant stops half-way. Fremont, full of restaurants and shops is a 15-min walk. Highly recommended!
