If you're looking to stay in Seattle, talk to Matt! He and his brother were both great hosts. My girlfriend and I stayed here for three nights while in town for a friend's wedding, opting to forego the reserved hotel for something much closer to the venue. Matt's apartment was just what we wanted! The place is cozy but not cramped, offering more space than you'd get from a hotel with just as much privacy.

The surrounding area is charming and very walkable, although it's a bit difficult to get cabs to other areas of the city at off-hours. There is a grocery store and a pharmacy right around the corner, and plenty of bars and restaurants within a few blocks.

We didn't spend much of our weekend in the apartment, preferring to explore the neighborhood when we weren't at the wedding or various rehearsal activities beforehand, but when we did need to take a break and relax in the middle of a busy day, this apartment was just the oasis we needed.
