"Great location, friendly staff, good amenities"

City Haven III: Blocks to Zoo, Groceries, Downtown Bus with Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and very modern looking and was stocked with everything we needed. Communication was great with the host and we enjoyed everything. I will say the beds are quite hard and I would invest in a bit heavier duty mattresses but other than that, I give it 5 stars for everything else!"

Phinneywood Cottage - Greenlake - Zoo - Phinney

8/10 Good

"It’s a convenient location, but that does mean that there is a lot of road noise. Bathroom was a little challenging, claw foot tubs, while pretty, are a little inconvenient and I left most of my products in the kitchen for convenience. I found the WiFi sluggish but tolerable. Overall, enjoyed the location, communication was good and would consider staying again."

"Convenient location to University or to the Link if you want to venture out further. Very clean, great amenities."
