Reviewer Comments:
Although we managed to make the most out of our experience, we were disappointed with the Montlake property. First, there was a huge fly problem... probably due in part to the urban chicken coop next door. Second, the furnishings, decor and appliances were outdated. And, lastly, the ceilings in the basement were very low, which put that floor out of commission for our group. (Many of the people in our party are over 6 ft tall and couldn't stand upright due to the low ceilings.)

We had a very nice stay in Montlake. We picked the location because it was right in the middle of our two friends we were visiting in Seattle. I would highly recommend it.

The Montlake Craftsmen Bungalow provided a perfect base for our family visit to Seattle; parks and a couple of restaurants within walking distance and easy to reach a fantastic supermarket ( QFC, beaches and all the downtown stores, museums, restaurants - you do need a car to stay in this house. The verandah and garden offered a peaceful pleasant resting place at the begining and ends of the day. The house is fully equipped for 'proper' cooking and laundry with plenty of space for family members to do their own thing. We particularly enjoyed the period features and furniture, our only adverse comment would be the lack of washing line ( for wet washing - Europeans are much more hesitant about using driers) and the air con in the master bedroom - a little noisy and difficult to adjust, but overall the instructions and guidance were very comprehensive.
