We really enjoyed our stay at Phil and Andrea’s. It is a very welcoming and relaxed space, perfect to use as a base when exploring Seattle. Their home is a very beautiful example of the timber town houses found in the area. The public transport was convenient and easy to understand, making it easy to explore Seattle.
We really enjoyed the local Madrona area and 34th Avenue for food. It is a peaceful area and within easy walking distance to Lake Washington and amazing views of Mount Rainer. The neighbourhood felt friendly, safe and liberal, and I felt very at home there. Phil and Andrea made great local recommendations.
We both loved the Seattle scene, typified for us by KEXP radio station - well worth a visit for the tour and coffee. We did many of the tourist attractions in the city centre, but also enjoyed visiting other neighbourhoods. Capitol Hill was nearby and a fun and hip place to visit in the evening for local craft ale breweries. We also visited Discovery Park, Ballard and Freemont, which were a great day out.
The space was welcoming after long days exploring, with a comfy bed and good bath and shower. Extra special were the baked treats left for us by Andrea, which all added to a great holiday in Seattle.
