Peter and Anne were excellent & friendly hosts! The cottage and neighborhood are amazing. The bed is very firm but the foam pad helped a lot. The only complaint would be the neighbors back porch lights are very bright and shined right into the windows the bed faces all night. The blinds helped but maybe black out curtains would keep the "glow" down a bit? Overall,the stay was very enjoyable and we'll definitely be back!

Such a lovely cottage! Peter and Ann were incredible hosts and had lots of helpful information provided. I spent each morning on the patio drinking coffee and listening to all the song birds in the neighborhood. Really a special little place to stay and so much in walking distance! Incredible coffee, beautiful parks, the zoo, and lots of restaurants. Also not far from Fremont or Ballard! Will definitely book again!!

The property was very clean and as described. It is a lovely neighborhood and very quiet, with very good access to the main part of Seattle. The hosts were friendly and very responsive. There were several restaurants within walking distance. The only negative is that the instructions for the TV and the list of TV channels needs to be updated.
