Amazing place and the views are spectacular. The pictures on the website just don't do it justice. Get up on the top deck to get even better views! Dennis and Martie are very gracious hosts and they even left a card and flowers for us for our anniversary. They know a lot about the area and a lot of the history which was fun to hear about. They checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was OK and invited us to spend time with them watching the sunsets whenever we were around. We look forward to bringing the kids with us next time to enjoy such a great place.
The apartment is very nice and clean and very well kempt. It is in the basement of the home and not it's own separate building, but we never heard a sound from the hosts except when we were outside saying hello. We only cooked there once, but the kitchen was well stocked and we ate outside on the back patio. There is satellite and a great TV. Nice floors and a comfortable bed. There is a great fire place inside and outside to enjoy and the lawn and flowers are very well maintained. We were very comfortable and the surroundings made it very relaxing and peaceful.
Location is perfect. 20 minutes and you are at Pikes Place. 15 minutes and you are at the Ballard Locks and Portage Bay Cafe. Short drives and you are at Seattle or Edmonds fairies to Bainbridge Island. 2 hours and you are at Mt. Rainier. The best part though is that when you get back to the house, it is quiet, peaceful and you get to watch some amazing sunsets.
I would recommend this place to a single traveler, a couple or a small family. 100 x's better than a hotel and so much more comfortable. Give Dennis and Martie a try, I promise you will not be disappointed.
