We were visiting our daughter, who lives in North Seattle, over the Christmas holiday. For us, the location was perfect. Easy transportation to downtown was a plus; we used the city bus on two days. We walked around Green Lake; despite cloudy, cool weather, this was nice. Green Lake is very busy with people no matter what the weather. Coffee shops and restaurants are nearby, within walking distance.
The housing itself was very comfortable for 4 people. Neighborhood is nice; it feels very safe. Kitchen had all appliances to cook our meals. This was a much more comfortable option for us than using a motel.
