Paul was like a friendly cousin we'd never met before. He made us feel welcome and comfortable and made himself as available to us as we wanted. He drove from downtown Seattle to West Seattle so that we could bring our luggage over hours before the scheduled check-in time. He brought in the most fabulous bouquets from his garden including dazzling roses, sweet peas and mint, to decorate the living room and the bathroom. And he provided lovely sweet rolls for our breakfast and invited us in for coffee if we didn't want to make it ourselves. We talked gardening and he recommended walks in the neighborhood.
Our apartment was spacious, comfortable, airy and clean, looking over a very private garden filled with gorgeous flowers and a lush lawn. The neighborhood was almost rural feeling even though we were very close to downtown Seattle. Parking was great. We didn't spend much time in the apartment aside from sleeping. It was our haven for visiting a sick friend in West Seattle and a daughter in Ballard. Because it was in a part of West Seattle we weren't familiar with, off the California Ave corridor and the Alki beach hub, we discovered new delights, and were still located conveniently near California Ave, Alki and the West Seattle Bridge. We hope to stay again in the near future.
