We spent a 4 amazing days at Lara's place in Fremont! The location cannot be beat and it is walking distance from amazing places in downtown Fremont. It was also just 10 mins away from Seattle downtown and we could easily get to most of the places we wanted to see within 15 mins. We had a car with us so cannot comment on the public transport but we saw a lot of buses while we were out and about. Lara's place is really cosy and for a family of 3 it was perfect. Check in was easy even though we came past midnight. The street was well lit. I did have a little trouble finding street parking but I put that down to my arrival time. We were able to find parking on Lara's block from the next day onwards. Lara had the fridge stocked with basics and had enough spices in the spice drawer for a full meal as well! There is also a pretty good supermarket within a few blocks which had a hot food bar that we used a couple of times.
All being said we had a wonderful time and we will definitely stay with Lara if we ever find ourselves in Seattle again.
