I stayed here for over a month and I felt at home. The unit had everything I needed for a long stay and once I got used to climbing the ladder to the loft, I came to appreciate the setup of the cottage. I loved the high ceiling, although someone tall would need to be careful around the loft bed area as the ceiling slopes around the bed. It took me a while to get used to the steep slopes in this neighborhood, but it is generally a walkable area. Do check out Ballard, Green lake and Burke-Gilman Trail
