We had a wonderful stay at Catherine's apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. The apartment is clean and comfortable with beautiful landscaping and great views of the mountains. There were also lots of tasty snacks and other treats available when we arrived. The location is fantastic and if you don't plan on venturing much outside of Downtown or Seattle Center, you could get away without a car as the 1 bus and the D line bus are both just a short walk from the apartment. We had a rental car as we wanted to drive outside of the city for hiking and were always able to find a spot for parking on the street right by the apartment. The kitchen has everything you would need if you want to make food at the apartment and there is a market within walking distance for supplies. There are also several shops and restaurants within walking distance (the Macrina Bakery pastries are very good). Catherine has brochures and binders full of information on restaurants and things to do in the area in the apartment if suggestions are needed. We were also treated to a nice visit from one of her kitties one morning as it came up and curled up in our laps (which was great as we were missing our own kitties). There is no TV in the apartment (completely fine by us), but the wireless Internet was fast and reliable. This was our first AirBnB stay and it was a great one!
