Cute home in a quiet neighborhood! Home was very clean and well maintained. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen and bathrooms had all the necessities. The deck was a nice area to relax in.

We were in town for our cousins Senior recital. The home is in our family’s neighborhood, so it made it very convenient to visit with them and then retire to our own space. The neighborhood has many great breakfast and lunch spots as well. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great stay and location in the Seattle area.
