Karen's place was absolutely perfect! It was very clean (and I'm a total diva about cleanliness). It had everything you needed for a night in of cooking, but also had lots of great restaurants around. We particularly loved Jae's Sushi. The space was gorgeous- very modern and cozy - and the shower was to die for!! It took us 8-10 minutes to drive to any neighborhood of Seattle we wanted to get to. Perfect, quiet location.
