Seattle Bed & Breakfasts

This is a bed and breakfast in a large older house in a leafy suburb of Seattle. This is a well maintained classic old house full of original art and a very nice collection of antique furniture. The owner is a former Russian journalist who spends a lot of her time writing in her study/library. Think of it like staying overnight at the grand house of some educated bohemian friends. The neighborhood is very quiet, the house is next to an Olmstead park. You'll feel pretty far from downtown - but its just a short taxi ride from downtown - 15 minutes and $10-15. I stayed in the the largest room - the house's former master bedroom. It has a short entry hall, to a large bedroom, with a king size bed, and a walk-in closet. It has a huge bathroom, and then a pair of french doors lead out to a huge second floor balcony with a small table and chairs overlooking the street.

I liked all of it. But some people may be put off by the relative informality of the place Not like a regular hotel at all - there is no front desk. You can easily end up in long conversations with the owner on politics, art and culture.

Very nice hosts! Very personable. Would highly recommend. I'm staying again.

The mansion it's self, so historic and well kept. The furnishing were charming and it was kept meticulously.

The pocket door in the bathroom was hard to use if you pushed it all the way in.

I was in the Carriage Loft Room. The room was decorated nicely and was fairly spacious. The air conditioning worked well on a hot summer day. The interior common spaces were lovely, as was the courtyard.

Carriage Loft RoomThe bed was horrible! Rock hard mattress and flat, hard pillows. Didn't sleep a bit. The compressor in the mini fridge made a high pitched squeal while running. Walk-in shower was uncomfortably small (I'm 5'9'/150).

Location!!! Mere feet from Pike's and th price was excellent especially for peak summer time.

Charming, wonderful place to stay. And the pastries for breakfast were incredible. Highly recommended.
