Hotel Ballard

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and clean place"

Hotel Hotel Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Great everything. ❤️"

Pingu's sweet suite - Micro Studio - 91Walkscore

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the cute shower curtain!"

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."

Very clean, modern, and well-appointed daylight basement apartment.

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, convenient and very reasonable priced. Great location to be an anchor for Seattle exploration. Green Lake has a lot of cool neighborhood eateries and bars to visit."

Boutique Chic Garden Retreat a Fremont Oasis w/ a BBQ, fire pit & outdoor dining

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property, clean with a couple of minor issues. I.e. smell in the basement."

Charming Green Lake Craftsman – Hot Tub, AC, Dog Friendly, Walk to Lake & C...

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first Vrbo experience and it was a great one! The home was cozy, clean, and stocked with all the things you could think of needing. We stayed with our baby and the provided pack and play was so convenient! Our older little kids loved having their own space downstairs to feel independent and play games provided by the host. Not our situation but would be a great space for 2 smaller sized families given there’s backyard access from upstairs and basement as well as a kitchen (!!!) and bathroom on each level. The house isn’t open concept which means there’s plenty of doors you can shut to create spaces for privacy or to keep littles contained in certain zones which was a big win for us. Easy to get to and lots to do in the neighborhood."

Perch - Cozy Studio | Own Bath | Heart of Fremont

8/10 Good

"Cute little property, clean and as described. Couple things to be aware of and not the host faults, no matter what time of the day, parking is very tough if you have a vehicle. It’s the city it comes with the area. Neighbors next door aren’t the quietest, lots of door slamming and such, but again part of that is living in a condo/apartment complex sharing walls with people. We would stay again if we wanted to be in the city and not be driving a vehicle."
