As they say in the showbiz: Location, Location, Location! This gem of a property is located in a lovely neighborhood up on a hill in the Queen Anne district of Seattle directly overlooking the iconic space needle with panoramic views sweeping from the Seattle ports across downtown and beyond. It didn’t matter if it’s sunny or rainy the panoramic views from this house are amazing! Seriously, the pictures online don’t do the views enough justice. We had views from the upstairs master bedroom and deck along with from the living room, dining area and kitchen. We were all literally awestruck from the moment we walked in.
The house itself was wonderful too providinga great layout for our multi-generational family. As the grandparents, we took the downstairs apartment and our kids and their kids stayed on the 3rd floor where there are two bedrooms (the master and one other). The master is spacious and we loved that it had a couch facing the city views (very, very romantic).
On the middle level, the kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed to make and serve meals (and we like to cook). The dining room adjoins the kitchen and the living room opens out spaciously off the dining area. As a matter of interest to some, the TVs all worked well and the owner provides access to Netflix and other platforms. The house also features a beautiful fireplace but we didn’t use it so I can’t comment on that other than to say it looked appealing. The bathrooms are beautiful especially the one in the downstairs apartment which features a large tub which the grandkids adored.
We had children with us as young as 9 months and we felt the house was both safe and comfortable for little ones. Additionally the house is located across from a lovely little park that our 3 year old granddaughter adored. Other larger parks in the Queen Anne area were nearby but this one worked for us.
Lastly, the owners checked in with us several times during the week to ensure we were comfortable and to let us know their staff was at our service if anything was needed. I let them know that a few lightbulbs needed replacing and they literally had someone on standby ready come over to change them out, but for us, it wasn't a big deal and we asked them to wait til we vacated to fix them. That said, it was comforting to know that management was so available to meet our needs.
All told, we were all 110% satisfied with this rental and will absolutely rent it again!
