Though compact, this is an exceptionally light and airy space that has been skillfully and gracefully restored and upgraded as a comfortable retreat for maximum ease of use as a base of operation for exploring Seattle. Extremely convenient to downtown via car, and two blocks from commuter rail station (and, if you are a sports fan, just two stops away from the football and baseball stadiums). Candace has anticipated all of a travelers essential needs, including eco-friendly toiletries and all the appliances one might desire. Comfortable futon-style bed and user-friendly shower are also plusses. An open front porch and large front yard invite spending time outside. Only one thing to be aware of for those with physical limitations--the house sits quite far back from and above street level, so negotiating almost a full flight stairs is necessary for access.
