The house was indeed cheery! It was so cute and we'd definitely return if we're ever in Seattle again. The lightrail was easy to access as Candace said though we might have stayed closer to downtown so we could walk to more of the attractions. We did choose to stay here because I needed to do laundry after being out a week on the trail. Unfortunately the washer doesn't work properly and had we known, we would have booked elsewhere. That said, Candace tried to help (from Europe- communication was a bit tough because of that- 9 hour time zone difference) but couldn't do much from so far away. I think she mentioned they will be back in Seattle in 3 weeks so hopefully after that the washer will be usable again. Otherwise, everything was great!
