We had a lovely long weekend showing our daughter and her friend around University of Washington during our stay! Bindu is a lovely and generous host. The location is great if you are like us and like to explore on foot. It is very near the aquarium and Pike's Place, which makes it easy and great for families who would otherwise be renting two hotel rooms. We didn't have a car (used Lyft and public transportation) — but if you do bring to rent one -- the included parking also seems like a plus!
