Margaret was a perfect host, welcoming and friendly, but giving us our space. The apartment was secluded, quiet, clean and comfortable. While the bedroom is rather small, the kitchen is huge and well-equipped - perfect for cooking up a feast after a trip to the farmers' market or Pikes place! We enjoyed the leafy green surrounds and cute houses of Maple Leaf. Although it feels suburban, it's only 10-20 minutes walk to shops, good coffee, restaurants and the express bus to downtown.
