Lots of attention to detail, comfortably furnished, clean and in a walkable neighborhood close to good restaurants. The dedicated covered parking space was definitely appreciated.

The apartment is very nice! We had a great stay. 3 coffee shops within the block! Felt like we were back in Seattle! The house had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you to the gracious hosts.
