2BR/1.5BA - AC- Private upper unit of a duplex house. Few steps to Light Rail

This is a great find in Columbia City that is steps to Link transit. Worked perfectly to see the ball games with a quick 5 stops to T-Mobile park. The place would be perfect for 4 people with the two rooms. We had a family of 6 and the pull out couch is not comfortable compared to the beds. The upstairs room was also hot but the open windows helped to sleep better. The kitchen is great and fully stocked too! The host was awesome with communication right from the get go and the check in was allowed 30 min early and was a breeze. Don’t let the two vacant properties next to the place impact your choice this was a great find in a great location, we felt safe and the area is nice for dining a beer at a brewery and ice cream too! Thanks Nhat!

As the previous reviews mention, this home is located very close to the light rail station. This provided us easy access to the entire city of Seattle. The home is clean and comfortable, while the owner is responsive and very accommodating. We would recommend this home for anyone visiting Seattle.

Great location. Near light rail, restaurants and shopping. Large kitchen and dining area. Very comfortable.

Positives: Inside the house is cute and the light rail was just a few blocks away, as advertised. Negatives: we learned that the air conditioner is controlled by the basement tenant & when we arrived the first night, the house was quite hot inside because the weather had been hot for a few days. We had to contact the owner who then had to contact the tenant to turn on the a/c unit. It was fine at first but then the tenant turned it off during the night & everyone in our party was too warm to sleep. The same thing happened the next day. We had to ask the owner to contact the tenant again to turn the a/c back on. It was a hassle & shouldn't have happened. The upstairs unit should have its own system, independent of the downstairs unit. Especially when customers are renting a space that advertises having "air conditioning". Otherwise, there should be a disclosure that the thermostat can be controlled by someone not even living in the space you've rented. The owner should be more upfront about how that system works. Also to note, the house next door is abandoned and boarded up and the yard is completely overrun with 4' high weeds. While I understand one cannot control one's neighbors, it just makes the area look really rundown & feel a bit unsafe. Also, the basement tenant smokes and the smoke was coming into the upstairs unit through the vents so we had to deal with cigarette smoke on top of it all. I would not rent this property again.
