Our hosts were so lovely! The guest house was perfect, in a beautiful neighborhood that’s walkable to some great local spots. We especially enjoyed the walk down the street to the community garden. It’s also conveniently close to Seattle University, where we were moving our daughter. We will definitely be staying again!

This is a charming, well-appointed, comfortable, and carefully laid out home-away-from-home experience. The unit is filled with lots of extras. During our July stay, with the main entrance open, the space was quiet and cool. We never used the air conditioner. At night, we never heard any street noise. It was restful relaxing inside or using a sitting table just outside the entrance.The owners, Alex and Harry, were wonderful communicators before we booked our reservation, answering lots of questions; before we arrived, with answering more questions; and then on the day of arrival, being on hand to show us the place. Thank you for all your help.The surrounding neighborhood offered lots of tourist and destination opportunities within walking distance including: Colman Park, Leschi Park, Frink Park, and scenic overlooks in Mt. Baker and the Leschi-Dell area. Also fun was walking the floating bridge section of I-90 and the South Day Street Park underneath I-90 - both are walkable from the VRBO.. Other nearby areas visited via bus or car included: Seward Park and Kubota Garden.Eateries: we liked QED Coffee located on the main drag of Mt. Baker. We walked, 40 minutes or so, to Cafe Peloton in Cherry Hill and Moonlight Cafe in the Central District and Oak Restaurant in Beacon Hill; by car, we visited Redbird Cafe in Rainier Beach. Groceries: after a walk along the lake, we filled up with groceries at the Leschi Market.

Hi Alex, I really enjoyed exploring the community garden half a block from your house. We also did the 15 min walk to Lake Washington and enjoyed jumping off the dock into the cool water. Our 9 year old loved it. The suite was very clean and the beds were so comfy. Jen
