Third time staying here--clean and welcoming. Great neighborhood.

The place was a very pleasant, comfortable and cozy space, especially in traveling with my elderly parents. I appreciated also that Teresa from City Haven, checked in with me to make sure we had what we needed. Initially, it was a little confusing where to go to park (entry was not at the street address but rather the back wrapping around the next street over). In addition, a clearer address or name (City Haven III) at the door of the unit would make it easier for guests to know which one is which upon arriving-I was trying to go in the (wrong) unit in front of where I parked (made sense at the time). A clearer sign would be helpful when we first arrive. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

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.

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.

We loved staying here! The place is as cute as the pictures, clean and cozy. It was a great location for all of the different events we went to, not only downtown but also locations north, south, east and west of Seattle. I would highly recommend this home!

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!

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.

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.

This is a very comfortable, clean, well appointed lodging. Everything is there that you need for an enjoyable stay. It is in a great neighborhood to walk to get something to eat and also close to downtown Seattle to drive back and forth. I highly recommend it!
