Even though we arrived a bit before check in time, Bill and Huong's cottage was ready to go and they welcomed us over. Communication and check in was a snap. Everything is just as it shows in the pictures: very clean and quite a bit of space. While it was just the two of us, there was also a nice air mattress in the living room that would work well for larger groups. The granola bars and water were a great touch as well. Although the furnishings have a bit of a dated feel (especially the TV!), that wasn't really a problem for us as we were out most of the time. Also, be sure to mind the small step up into the living room from the kitchen. Even though there was a big sign warning of the step, we both still had to stub our toes a couple times before we learned...operator error lol. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quaint but I would recommend taking a rideshare to get to the stadiums and restaurants closer to downtown; the half hour walk from the cottage can be a bit "sketchy", especially around dark. Due to the great central location, an Uber or Lyft was just a few bucks anyway.

Overall, a wonderful space and a wonderful stay! We loved Seattle and hope to visit and stay at the cottage again soon!
