The cottage apartment was just as pictured and a lovely place to stay while in Seattle. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and cookware. Julia made sure everything went just fine. Access to downtown was pretty easy using the buses, but I also enjoyed walking and bicycling (thanks for letting me use the bike!) around this very nice area of Seattle. I found QFC grocery and many small shops and restaurants just up the way on 45th street. I hope I can stay again sometime, when I visit my daughter and her husband in Seattle.
