This was a great place to stay in Seattle for guests with a car. It was a short drive to many of Seattle's wonderful neighborhoods and their restaurants, etc., and it was a short distance to downtown as well. If there was a drawback, it was that the location was so beautiful, with great views of Lake Washington from the deck and library window, that we were tempted to just stay put and enjoy the place rather than venture out on the town. We highly recommend staying here!
