If I could decorate my own vacation get away, this would be it. The home was exactly what we needed for our stay in a peaceful, clean neighborhood with easy parking, and close to a shore and dining, as well as additional shopping by car. It was perfect for my older small dog, as the porch is level to a lawn so she didn't have to climb up and down stairs. I have nothing but good things to say and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, cozy, place to stay in Seattle.
