10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Place was cute and quaint. Perfect for staying somewhere not a hotel in Seattle!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
A great place to stay in Seattle. Very conveniently located next to a bus stop that takes you directly downtown in about 15 minutes. There are plenty of places to eat, shop, etc. within a 10-20 minute walk. The house itself was spacious for a family of four. We felt we all had our own space. High marks to the outside area and front porch bench. Perfect for kicking back with a coffee. All in all, a great place. We'd like to stay again if we're ever back in Seattle.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Clean and cute older house in quiet neighborhood. Host was amazing, responded promptly to all questions and offered suggestions on things to do. Check in/out super easy.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Parking is street parking so it’s first come first served. There’s only one restroom so if you have more than a few people the restroom can be a little annoying. Otherwise it’s a great place to stay with multiple places to shop for necessities if need be. Fred Meyer for groceries or home goods and BevMo for drinks. Seattle is just a small drive nearby. Definitely cute and worth it.
