Kristy's place is adorable!

You can tell Kristy takes pride in her place and as a host. Her place is beautiful! Her back yard is beautiful! The studio was cute, comfortable, and clean. She gave some extra touches like a bottle of wine, snacks, tea, coffee, and chocolates. I would 100% recommend Kristy's place.

Lovely small studio apartment, great location

Kristi’s apartment was clean and bright, the bed super-comfortable, and all communication clear. The quiet tree-lined boulevard felt very safe, and it was a short walk to restaurants and stores. My stay was in May, and the inviting garden around the apartment and adjoining home was bursting with spring splendor. The apartment doesn’t have a whole lot of floor or personal storage space, but it’s fine for two people who don’t need extra room to “spread out.” I wouldn’t hesitate to stay with Kristi again!

Great location, easy parking and comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay in Kristi's suite. The bed was comfortable, and many amenities, including coffee and snacks, were provided. We were also greeted with a bottle of wine, which was an added touch! Her cat, Miso, is very friendly and visited us each morning. She was a great hostess from whom we welcomed the snuggles. Parking was a sinch, and is within walking distance to the farmer's market. It is close to many other restaurants as well so we didn't have to worry about driving and parking anywhere. We enjoyed staying further from downtown and taking the train, which the station is also only a short 15 to 20-minute walk away. We would stay here again!

Perfect weekend

For the first time ever the pictures didn't do the property justice.. We were pleasantly surprised at how perfect the property was for ous and our " city getaway". The hosts were on point for all of our needs and went above and beyond for us. A quick walk to the light rail, lots of restaurants and thrift shops nearby and not to mention the perfect walk to the Burke and the Neptune. Showing up to a our place with a bottle of wine waiting, spoiled us; we will be back. Thanks

It was the perfect location for the two of us. Quiet, and we felt very safe. The place was super nice. Everything is detailed and written down on things and instructions.cafe, soaps, shampoo and conditioner is provided. We even got to see Puddles, their pet rabbit. Neighbor hood is great.

Perfect for short stay

This studio was very cute, good size, and the bed was very comfortable! We slept very well. The bathroom was not as clean as I would’ve liked, but it was fine for the two nights we were there. If there was one bit of feedback I’d leave for the owner, it would be to provide dishes, silverware, glasses. It only had two tiny coffee cups, two small tumblers, two knives, one spoon, one fork. A full dish set of four would be ideal so we could eat meals there.

Pros: Quiet neighborhood; walking distance to bus routes and some dining; comfortable king bed; clean; coffee maker in the room; a few snacks; owner responded promptly to messages during the stay. Cons: None really, as long as you understand this isn't a hotel. There's no closet, and the one side chair is a style where you sink in (sort of like a hammock).
