Clean and cosy, wonderfully comfy bed. Great neighborhood and Garnett, the host, was as nice as could be. As she suggested, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up basics and it made all the world of difference! Loved it and would stay again if I ever return to Seattle!

Great small 1 br apartment in Wallingford. You don’t need a car here. The 62 bus will take you to near Pikes Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, Pioneer Square, Green Lake and more! We didn’t really cook in the apartment, mostly ate breakfast and some lunches there, but there were some useful staples there. Check in and check out we’re both very easy. There’s lots of restaurants & a grocery store nearby on 45th St. Hope to return in the next few years! Thanks!

Great location in a beautiful and very walkable neighborhood, with a profusion of flowering plants and trees on every street. We loved being able to walk to the grocery store and to a variety of restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. Some of our favorites were breakfast at Julia's, lunch at Stone Way Cafe, baked goods from Sea Wolf, and the hand crafted donuts from DOCE Donut Company (be sure to try the Tres Leche: unbelievable!). Our accommodations were perfect for relaxing and it was a great spot for gathering with our daughter, who was living nearby. We had everything we could possibly need, and the king size bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. I would love to stay here again the next time I am in Seattle.

This is a gem of a little place to stay in Wallingford. Very comfortable bed and all the amenities for an enjoyable stay are provided. The host has done a great job outfitting the apartment. One note - the bathroom is not really suitable for very tall people. There is a step up to the toilet but the ceiling is no higher. Same with the shower. My son is 6’2” and just managed in the shower. There is also a step up into the bathroom. So consider if you have any mobility limitations to avoid being frustrated. All in all we are very happy to stay here and will be back!

We really enjoyed our visit to Seattle staying here. Our son and his wife live a few blocks away. We walked to Fremont for the day (but we like to walk). Really great quiet neighborhood. Neighborhood is a little busy before and after school on school days. Pretty easy to find parking during day in the area. We plan on staying again in future. Thanks again Garnett, nice to meet you.
