Phil and Andrea were incredibly welcoming and provided a very comfortable environment to stay in Seattle. I would highly recommend staying with them. I stayed for almost 3 months with them and had an amazing experience.

Their house is located in a neighborhood about 15-20 minutes by bus ride from downtown Seattle. Very easy commute by multiple buses a block or two from their house to downtown (also an easy walk- about 2 miles). It is a quiet neighborhood but easily accessible to all parts of the city. Could walk up to the Madrona neighborhood in 5 minutes to great restaurants, cafes, and shops, down to the beach in 15 minutes, to Capitol hill in 10 minutes, etc.

The "cottage" was well equipped with everything one would need, was clean, very comfortable, and had plenty of room. They had a gorgeous luscious green backyard with a grill and plenty of outdoor seating that I used when I had people over for dinner.

They were always making sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable. Very, very nice people.
