Melissa's cottage was very clean, comfortable, and made for a good stay during our visit to Seattle. We enjoyed the ample space, nice furnishings, and comfortable beds. Melissa has pretty much everything you'll need stocked for your stay, including a Keurig with coffee and plenty of kitchen supplies.
The cottage is one of three units in a small row building. There is a large gravel parking area/access-way in front of each unit. It seemed the unit next to the cottage was vacant, and the far unit had a vehicle parked outside but we never saw anyone. We had no issues with neighbors or lack of parking. If you have more than one vehicle it might be tight, but there seemed to be more parking spots at the far end of the units.
We mostly stayed at the cottage in the evenings, and used the days to explore Seattle.
I will say the close proximity to the road and an intersection (biking/walking trail crossing) made for a fair amount of vehicle noise, especially city busses, as there is a stop sign to keep the pedestrians and bikes from getting flattened. However, with the cottage windows closed and at night for sleeping, this was no issue. I do mention it though because if you are sensitive to noise it may bother you. Melissa was upfront in her listing so no issue to us.
The other thing to note is the cottage does not have AC, just individual wall heaters in each room. We stayed during July so it was fairly warm inside during the day, but cooled off in the evening. There were also fans in each room. Again, this was also in the listing so it was all good.
Overall Melissa's cottage was a nice play to stay for our visit, we enjoyed it. Thanks!!
