We had a thoroughly wonderful stay and feel like we've found where we would always stay in Seattle. Green Lake is such a beautiful area for walking or jogging, dog-friendly, and safe for early morning and late night dog walks. There is an excellent off-leash fenced dog park a short walk away (by the tennis courts) and we found some local dog-friendly restaurants for lunch and dinners.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable for four adults, with all possible conveniences for an enjoyable stay and lots of very neat design features that make it fun and funky. Everything was sparkling clean and warm. The entrance is entirely private which again is very nice especially if you have a dog who needs to go out early. We had plans to go downtown but decided that sticking around Green Lake, Ballard, and Discovery Park gave us all the makings for a superb get-away.
An added bonus -- the neighbourhood is chocked full of beautiful craftsman houses that exude a sense of community past and present. Such a treat to walk around and look up!
