Julia's apartment is centrally located within walking distance of Trader Joe's, Central Coop, and numerous restaurants and cafes, but due to the location (back of the house off of the street) I felt as if I was out in the country when I was in the apartment. The garden was one of the best I have seen in Seattle (the pictures don't capture the fabulous garden view from the dining room table) and Bodhi, the dog, was fun to watch as he wandered through the garden. Julia responded immediately to my last minute request to stay (literally the morning of--thank you Julia!), and Julia was incredibly thoughtful and considerate. I was also very impressed with Julia's concern for people with chemical sensitivities, something I have struggled with for years, and this made my stay even more pleasant. Thank you, Julia!
