Overall we enjoyed our stay at Emerald Cottage. The view of the Space Needle was a bonus! If you stay there, be aware it is in a neighborhood with steep hills. If you choose to walk to local restaurants It's fine if you are in good health but walking with a bad knee did not work well for me. The Cottage is in the bottom part of a home and works well for a temporary stay. If you are in the back bedroom you will hear the people upstairs. Hung was very responsive to a request we sent him during our stay and that was appreciated. We always found parking in the same block but our stay was in September.
