Everything was amazing! The location is quiet and peaceful but centrally located. Hosts were so accommodating; they even helped us package a piece or art we bought and needed to ship home. Can’t wait to come back here next time we’re in Seattle!

Exceptionally nice spot. Super quiet. Tidy and well-decorated. A little hideaway from a busy city worked wonders. Highly recommended alternative for 1-2 people who want to be centrally located to greater Seattle, but avoid the hectics of a downtown hotel. Owners are super helpful. Great communications. Will stay again for sure.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Property was clean and cute, communication and check in process were great. The only downfall was the listing mentioned there was a washer and dryer on site, however, we were caught off guard when we discovered the washer and dryer was ONE unit meaning a washer/dryer combo and the instructions provided said it could take several hours to do one small load of laundry and warned to only dry small items like socks and underwear. For travelers like us who planned a 9 day trip throughout the national parks and making a quick stop in Seattle for the night, a laundry facility was quite important and something i researched before booking this property. We ended up having to blow dry the majority of our clothes the following morning. Transparency is key to making informed decisions when booking and i thought it was important to make a mention of these relevant details. Overall, it was a cozy spot to relax for the night.

Beautiful cozy stay!

We had a wonderful 3-night stay in this small but lovely Guesthouse. The host couldn't have been more welcoming - with easy entry, water in the frig, healthy snacks, and the immaculately clean space. Fabulous extras throughout: local events listed on blackboard, Seattle and local guide books, and local artwork. We had no issues at all but if we had, we knew she was within reach, ready to help. The Guesthouse is in a fabulous, very walkable and safe Seattle neighborhood. We had everything we needed, and couldn't have asked for a better stay. Thank you so much for helping us feel very welcome, safe, and pampered!
