The beautiful home up the hill is the more than I thought I'd get, more lovely and updated than the pictures posted. So close to Kerry Park view point, Seattle Center, Ballard Locks, Sculpture Park and only one express bus ride from downtown Seattle.

Meija's home was easy to find but, having arrived after dark, it did take us some minutes to locate the gate to the apartment, which blends in so well with the wooden fence. She constantly communicated and updated us with all possible routes to the house.

You need more days to enjoy the place; spacious, full of light, peaceful and delight. All the fine things override the famous low beam from which instinct (and forewarning) saved the 6'2.5" that is me. I met our host once and she was friendly and charming.

I'll recommend it to friends, home away from away.
