About this property

Seattle at its Best - a Great Neighborhood for Walking!!

  • Your private apartment is set within a gorgeous, beautifully-appointed 1917 Craftsman Bungalow in the premiere walking district of Seattle - theaters, restaurants, shopping and more shopping, parks and trails for walking and biking; close to bus lines to downtown Seattle, the Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Center and the Sound Transit trains; near the tulip fields and ferries to the San Juan Islands and historic areas north of Seattle; Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are a day-trip; quiet, residential neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Relax on the outside patio for some quiet time, enjoy a short walk to one of the neighborhood theaters or restaurants (sushi, Italian, Japanese, Thai, vegetarian, fusion, pizza, etc., etc.). There's nothing you'll need that you can't find in Wallingford. This is the large downstairs unit, with southern-exposure garden windows, a private entrance that is accessed from the side of the house, and a guest-available garden patio.

We really enjoyed our visit to Seattle staying here. Our son and his wife live a few blocks away. We walked to Fremont for the day (but we like to walk). Really great quiet neighborhood. Neighborhood is a little busy before and after school on school days. Pretty easy to find parking during day in the area. We plan on staying again in future. Thanks again Garnett, nice to meet you.

Sweet place in a great neighborhood

The apartment is not large but it had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. The location is fantastic--very quiet, across from a park but an easy walk to restaurants and stores. We would happily stay again.

The location was perfect for me, walking distance to plenty of coffee and food. I was able to enjoy a comfortable nights rest at Garnett’s Place, that I actually looked forward to after long days of walking around Seattle. Everything was clean and accounted for.

Great place for 1 or 2 people. Quiet, clean space with a king sized bed, comfortable living room and a kitchen full of necessary "tools" and appliances. Very easy check in.....just show up and the key is waiting for you! The property is well situated to get to I-5, and to go to places in any direction. Owner Garnett is easy to work with and very pleasant. I’d stay here again if I’m back this way.

Fremont Perfection

My wife and I stayed at Garnett’s place for a portion of our Honeymoon and it couldn’t have been better! The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us, was tastefully decorated and had an awesome and comfy bed. The best part however had to be the cute cat who sat and hung out with us whenever we stopped to rest and reflect in the great sitting area outside the apartment and home. Location was perfect for access to Seattle’s treasures and parking wasn’t an issue at any point. We both loved it and would stay there again!
