Katrina's Seattle launchpad was the perfect place for a mid-week start to a long weekend in the Pacific Northwest. The apartment is a quick bus ride from the light rail station and has a few great coffee shops and bakeries nearby. The apartment itself is perfect and exactly how it was described in the listing. I had a private bedroom and access to the shared bathroom and kitchen throughout the day and there is a balcony with a table and chairs that has a fantastic view of Beacon Hill and downtown Seattle. It was the perfect place to enjoy a banh mi sandwich from one of the many Vietnamese restaurants that also dot Katrina's neighborhood.

As for the host, Katrina was most gracious in helping me get my trip started and sharing bus and ferry schedules as well as helping me navigate an early morning run to check out the Blue Angels who were in town for Seafair weekend. I will definitely be back.
