visited seattle to meet a friend who lives in Magnolia. we had a larger group – six couples – and were happy to find a place that could accommodate all of us comfortably. matt and holly are excellent communicators and very friendly and helpful. magnolia is a quiet upscale residential neighboorhood. there's an excellent pub (great food, killer drinks, attentive bartenders) about 5 minutes away and we found one "divey" bar as well but otherwise not much to do at night. you can take a 15-min lyft or a ~25 min bus ride (stop is right outside matt and holly's place) to pike place, the space needle, and other downtown attractions. excellent coffee shop (ugly mug cafe) with A+ croissant sandwiches within a 10 min walk. only thing i would note is that if you're tall, the shower is tricky to use. i'm 5'6" and it was OK but my brother in law is 6'1" and had to squat. in general having one bathroom for six people isn't ideal. otherwise, perfect stay.
