My boyfriend and I recently spent a week in Seattle for vaction and stayed at Tory's cottage. We absolutely loved it. The neighborhood is very quiet and lovely. We had been to Seattle before , so knew that we wanted to stay somewhere close to Ballard and Fremont. That's one of the reasons we chose this cottage and you can get to either of those neighborhoods in a couple of minutes. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Tory gave us all the information we needed up front to make our stay comfortable. At one point, we couldn't figure out how to turn on the tv. She was very responsive and stopped by as soon as she got our message. I highly recommend staying at her studio of you are coming to the Seattle area.
