We absolutely loved it! My husband and I adore the chic and relaxed set up. The hosts are very thoughtful and accommodating; we didn't even need to bother them while we were there. After a weekend of sight-reading, we got cozy and hunkered down comfortably. I especially enjoyed sitting on the patio with my coffee in the morning and listening to the birds. We would love to stay here again, next time we come to Seattle.

There is not a spec of dirt anywhere, everything works as it should, there are wonderfully comfortable beds Lus the enormous couch that easily converts to a sofa bed, lovely, high quality bedding, and the deck and surroundings are delightful.

Every detail is thought of in this beautifully appointed home in the heart of the peaceful university district in Seattle. Conveniently located near the light rail and trail systems. A close jump over to downtown. Ron is over the to accommodating and clearly takes great pride in his perfectly spotless property. S’mores kits to pair with the garden side gas firepit.. fresh eggs in the fridge… every coffee choice you bc oils possibly imagine. I sipped a dark roast and watched a woodpecker in the sunrise through the towering pines. We had the best time and felt safe and rejuvenated after a whirlwind trip

This location is WONDERFUL. Ron and his wife thought of every detail for a wonderful stay. It is in a beautiful, safe area with parking available under the carport, or on the street. Ron welcomed us and gave a grand tour explaining how everything in the rental works and where to find things. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, cookware, and some spices. The sectional was spacious and comfortable; the recliners only extend a leg rest not a back extension. My family of 4 had plenty of privacy between the bedrooms. The bathroom has a very deep tub and a handheld showerhead, plenty of towels, and countertop space.It is very obvious how well maintained the unit is. I would definitely come back to this Vrbo anytime I’m in Seattle. FYI: This location is not accessible due to a flight of stairs to get to the entrance.

Girls trip for Turners Conference
We were in Portland for a conference, and took the train from Portland to spend a few days in Seattle after the conference was over. We ended up having a 2 hour delay with our Amtrak and got to the B&B really late (around 1 a.m.) We were all very pleasantly impressed with the beautiful space from the moment we walked in. It was a fantastic space to unwind after some busy days exploring Seattle. It was also very convenient as far as getting to public transportation to get on the lightrail into downtown. And even though we didn't get to meet Ron in person, he was a fantastic host that went out of his way to walk through and help with anything that came up (using the grill and the natural gas firepit ) and always quick to respond even when he was on vacation himself during our stay. I would definitely stay again in a heartbeat when I return to Seattle

We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo! Our host was incredibly friendly and a pleasure to chat with. He gave us a thorough tour of the suite upon arrival and shared helpful tips about nearby grocery stores and convenient park-and-ride options for taking the train into the city.The suite was spotless and felt like new. It was fully stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows, as well as thoughtful extras like coffee pods, tea, spices, sugar, and even pantry staples like soup.The bathroom was equipped with everything we needed—hair dryer, toothpaste, floss, Q-tips, band-aids, and high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.There were lots of little extras that made our stay even more comfortable: a Google Home speaker, reusable cloth shopping bags, a great selection of tourist books, maps, and magazines, and a laundry area with easy-to-use machines, detergent pods, a drying line, and an iron.We also really enjoyed the peaceful view of the backyard, the lovely balcony space, and the wide variety of TV channels available in all the bedrooms.Overall, it was a clean, welcoming, and well-equipped space, and our host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended!
