David's place is a great alternative to an upmarket hotel in Seattle -- everything you could need in a very private, studio-style space, with an upscale, well-designed vibe. The neighborhood is super-quiet, yet just a 15-minute walk away from hip Capitol Hill spots. I got perfect sleep both nights I was there, due both to the quiet, disturbance-free atmosphere and the comfy, sink-in bed and linens. I was traveling alone, but I think the studio would work well for a couple with 1-2 small children. The bathroom was well-stocked and water pressure/heat was great. The kitchen also was full-featured and new -- my only regret was that I didn't use it more! Check-in and -out was super easy, with the electronic lock, the lighted entrance, and the reserved parking spot. David's place will be my first choice for future Seattle trips.
