Joyce's house has so many stories and adventures within it - it's clear to see that it's been filled with lots of life's journeys! The artwork, the decor, the furniture, the knicknacks around the house all add to its heritage. For those that love the details inside of character houses...this place is for you. Joyce had two additional airbeds for us to sleep on so there was more than enough room for our group of 7. Really comfortable queen airbed too!! The house was well located. About a 15-20 minute drive from downtown, and I loved that we got to explore a different area of Seattle. The Wallingford neighborhood, an area that also has lots of character, allowed us to see sites such as Ballard (definitely check out the farmer's market on Sundays - maybe summer only...?) and Gasworks Park. I've been to Seattle plenty of times and mostly to the major sites of Pike Place, EMP, Space Needle, etc. This was such a pleasant surprise to be able to explore a part of Seattle that I haven't see before. It's also under a 10 minute drive to the university district as well, which has some amazing restaurants (omg Din Tai Fung...), Molly Moon ice cream and good shopping locations. Go see the Freemont troll by one of the bridges! Awesome scene by the water under the Ship Canal Bridge as part of the landscape...makes you feel so tiny in this big world of architecture and engineering.
