In a word, PERFECT. Karen’s place is the perfect mix of quiet, beautiful, secluded paradise, and close to restaurants, beach, nightlife and city. This was our first visit to Seattle and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cozy beach apartment was absolutely perfect for us. The kitchen is well equipped and the TV has several subscriptions for viewing. We cooked dinner in twice and everything you could need was there from spices to pots and pans, baking dishes and salad bowls. The coffee and tea was especially nice. The view can’t be topped. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the greater Seattle area. The commute was easy and parking is a breeze.
