    Alley Cottage on Capitol Hill. $1500. I usually keep the alley cottage for myself as my pied-a-terre and rent out the house but I find that I won't be in Seattle much for the next year and I've decided to offer it for rent. I offer the Alley Cottage on a monthly basis. After all, who would want to live in a converted garage? But this is a very fine alternative to a busy apartment. Why not live in a great neighborhood close to everything on Capitol Hill? The alley cottage is 400 square feet with 9 foot ceilings. It has radiant floor heat, Air-conditioning, A Laundry Machine and everything one needs to be comfortable. It is located in a quite alley just 2 blocks from Volunteer Park on a street of multi-million dollar homes. Mayumi and I live in Sapporo Japan but my brother Bruce is in Seattle to take care of any issues that might come up. I will be in Seattle May 8 to 11 and can show the property at this time. Disclosure, I am a retired real estate agent and everything needs to go by the book. Please read the following terms: Terms: month to month, plus one month's rent as a security deposit required.
