We loved staying at Jil's lovely place for the weekend! The basement one bedroom full bath and kitchen layout was perfect for two of us - it was clean, nicely decorated and cool, still light filled during the days. Plenty of powerplugs for all of our devices. Access to the place was super easy with the keycode lock. The E bus from downtown drops you off a block from the house. Easy parking in front of the house or behind. And a short walk to the lovely lake - I managed to get my running in every day because it was so easy and nice. A new Starbucks just opened on the corner of Aurora and 82nd...and there are more coffeeshops around there or towards the lake (bauhaus just opened a shop). This was a bit of a stay-cation, explore Seattle trip to test out neighborhoods somewhat outside of the central downtown area. Green Lake is wonderful for that quiet semi-suburban lifestyle. The lake access is just fantastic as well.
