Fantastic location, functional house

We stayed here because I needed somethings close to the UW medical center. Location was great for that, plus good food nearby, and nice walking areas! For not being a large space, it did not feel cramped at all. It was well stocked. Parking was sufficient! The host was eaay to reach and communicate with.

A lovely vrbo!

The apartment was clean, thoughtfully renovated and spacious. It is well stocked with kitchenware and appliances and plenty of large towels. The owners included many things guests might need, like a vacuum, washer and dryer and a portable crib. The friendly owner was quick to reply to questions, and her binder of information was so helpful. Thermostats in all rooms were a helpful feature since the spring temps were chilly.

Incredible spot!

This place is adorable. You can tell that Teresa and her husband want to give you an experience beyond just a place to sleep. They’ve created a comfortable home away from home. They were quick and communicative and just all around so incredibly friendly. Thank you for being a part of our Seattle memories!

Weekend getaway

This was our second time staying at this B Vrbo and it was just as lovely as the first time. It is in close proximity to public transit and a lot of local places to walk to. As someone who frequents Seattle often, I will always be looking to see if this place is available. Also, Teresa is an AMAZING host who is kind and highly communicative.

Great place

The 2 bedroom home makes efficient use of its space. Nice layout. Very clean. The home had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch - we went out for dinners. The bus to Ballard and many great restaurants was right in front of the house. The bus to downtown Seattle was just a block away. We stayed for 3 nights and was perfect stay.

Wonderful location

Many local shops, parks, and restaurants near by. Bus transit was easy to figure out. The home itself was very cozy, clean, and spacious. It was cuter than the photos. The only thing was the upstairs neighbors could be loud, but by the end of the day, we were too tired to care. Overall, will definitely stay there again!

Super comfortable and roomy, centrally-located apartment

This apartment is a very comfortable space with two roomy bedrooms. Altho a "basement", it is full of light and you dont' feel like you are underground. The kitchen is well-stocked, beds are very comfy, bathroom is good and there's lots of seating in the living area. The location is perfect in that you can walk to many restaurants and coffee shops or access highways into Seattle -- all essential for crowded Seattle!
