Visiting our newly relocated kids, this was our first trip to the Seattle area. We found the studio to be a great, comfortable launch pad. Things we especially appreciated were: It's SUPER clean - bedding, closets, EVERYTHING – everything painted a clean and bright white color. Great heat control. Super nice, deep bathtub and nice shower. A lot of extra touches – dish soap, little coffee maker, toaster, shampoo, plenty of tp and paper towels, a first aid kit, nice (again super clean) towels, wash cloths, and so on. Good lighting. Washer and dryer complete with detergent and dryer sheets were very much appreciated. … The studio itself is a downstairs unit with three rooms. The bedroom area is where the TV is (we never even turned on the tv) and this is where the window is located, as well as a good-sized closet with plenty of (clean!) hangers. We enjoyed our morning toast in the little kitchen where there is a European-size fridge, sink, electric stove and microwave (we only used the toaster and coffee maker). … Location: Very nice residential neighborhood. I ran in the morning a couple of times – two blocks over to 65th Avenue and then about a quarter mile (I think) to Lake Magnuson. There is a pizza place about one block away. …We did not rent a car, but we did park our kids’ car overnight on two occasions – plenty of street parking and felt very safe. … Our hosts were extremely responsive and nice – they left me a “happy birthday” message for my arrival! :)
