I can't imagine a better location to become your home base while exploring Seattle. Set a little south of the city, it took just 5 minutes to walk to the light rail going downtown or the airport or many other locations. The apartment is spacious and secluded. Furnished beautifully with lots of comfy places to hang out and relax. And that shower! Don't get me started! The windows open up to Karra's beautiful back yard where I enjoyed my coffee every morning. Plus the kitchen is nicer then mine at home and if you weren't traveling to Seattle to eat in all the fabulous restaurants, it would be a pleasure to cook in. Karra and her family were so welcoming and helpful, answering all my questions (and there were a lot of them!) before arrival and during my stay.
Karra knows the food scene in town and has all the insider tips on where to grab a fabulous meal. Plus, the neighborhood, Mount Baker, is very pedestrian friendly with great parks in walking distance including access to Lake Washington. The south end of Seattle is a hidden gem. Less crowded and more culturally diverse then other neighborhoods and with great access. Karra's place is super close to I-90, where you need only drive 45 minutes to access some of the most magnificent hiking the pacific northwest has to offer. The family, again, was an invaluable resource in planning a day hike. I just can't say enough good things about this place. Stay here for a wonderful, relaxing, genuine Seattle experience! You will love it!
