The decor was warm and beautiful, the lighting welcoming, and the bed comfy. The access to laundry was delightful, and the deck is divine! It was lovely, and I cherished a private, calm, safe space to be outside. I mostly used public transportation, and some apps made that very easy (plus Apple Maps). A car would make a lot more of the area accessible, but transit was pretty good for what I needed - and the bus is right there! A reminder that there's no stove or oven, but plenty of other appliances and space to make basic food and beverages. I'm pretty sound-sensitive and I was very aware of the noise from the bridge, but it did fade in and out of prominence, as I adjusted. I got coffee & pastries every morning at QED (open super early), watched the sunrise from my bed/deck, the sunset at the park nearby, e-biked around Bainbridge Island, explored Discovery Park (poor signage, take note, Maps did help), ate delicious food from the BBQ place the hosts recommended, the Seattle Fish Guys (both a short bus ride away) and the Italian place just down the block. The great grocery PCC Community Markets is a couple of busses away in Columbia City (which also has nice street life). Amazing Ethiopian food - Amys/Habesha Cafe is also in Columbia City. The transit areas around Pikes Market and the ferry terminals are pretty intense, so just stay aware of your surroundings when there. The neighborhoods in the area are beautiful to walk around, and it's an easy walk to the beach of Lake Washington - bring your bathing suit! I'd absolutely stay here again!
