I visit Kirkland several times a year and have stayed in about a half dozen properties in the area. Hotels in the immediate Kirkland area are limited and very pricey. This property is the best in the area.
The apartment has everything you need for your stay. The kitchen is well laid out and very functional, there is plenty of storage space in the closets, the bed is very comfortable, and the washer and dryer are on site. Although you are near a major construction site, the neighborhood is very quiet and there is no construction on the weekend. You are offset enough from busy NE 85th Street to not hear the traffic noise. You are within walking distance of a QFC (grocery chain), Starbucks, several other coffee shops and bakeries. If you are into exercise, you have ready access to the trails which run along Lake Washington. There are several good restaurants in Kirkland itself, including Sushi Joa, Ristorante Paradisio, Bottle and Bull, The Grape Choice (wine shop offering happy hour), etc. If you want to load up at Costco, it is just on the other side of Route 405.
When the weather is nice in Washington, it is very nice. However, when it is damp and rainy, sitting back in the apartment with the fire place going and a glass of wine is just the ticket to a relaxing evening. As I wrote earlier, I have stayed in several properties in the area and plan to make this my rental of choice on future visits.
