We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It's a sweet little retreat within walking distance of Green Lake, public transportation and a short drive to UW, Ballard, downtown Seattle, the Edmonds ferry and other cool spots. As another reviewer noted the espresso machine is the only coffee option and we loved it, but if you prefer a regular cup of Joe there is a hot water pot for instant. Otherwise whole beans are the best bet for the Breville. We also struggled a little with the stove and had to read the manual to figure out to use it but then it was pretty easy. Also, I just assumed there would be a microwave and washer/dryer (although the listing does not mention them as amenities) so note that these appliances are not available. The beds are super comfortable and while we didn't use the hot tub it's a cool feature. We would stay again!
