Charlie's place was a fantastic stay - you really can't beat the location. Portage Bay had cute restaurants in the area (i.e. Le Fournil, Little Lago, Sebi's Bistro), all were wonderful. It was easily accessible to other areas of the city via 10-20 minute bus ride. I walked to the UW Medical Center most mornings which took ~20 mins, which made a huge difference for my commute.
Otherwise, the bungalow is a cute space with everything you need for a long-term stay. I had enough supplies to cook food and a comfy bed to sleep in! The AC unit was a huge plus, as it was pretty hot the weeks I was there. And Charlie does a great job of respecting your privacy during your stay while also being accessible as needed. Overall, a wonderful spot that I would highly recommend!
