We loved staying here in June 2013! This area of Seattle is one of my favorites due to the availability of free street parking and access to restaurants, public transportation and ease of getting to other areas in the city.
This is a great place for people looking to have a solid launch pad type of place. Be sure to get waffles from Cortona across the street. Not a ton of seating but if the weather is nice there’s lots of nice seating outside. Also, going all the way down Union to Madrona leads to a very small and relatively quiet little shop area with restaurants and Molly Moon ice cream shop (again, with plenty of free parking or a nice 10-15 minute walk from the studio).
Thank you Maya!!
