Fireplace didn’t work, no paper towels, lacked basic condiments and front and backyard needs grooming. Backyard fence broken and missing a large section so would not be safe for young children until repairs completed. Interior of home needs repainted. Washer, dryer & dishwasher worked well. Owner is extremely cooperative, friendly and responsive to texts. Good location, close to market and only 10 minutes to UW.

CUTE LITTLE HOUSE IN GREAT LOCATION
The house was perfect for my daughter and I who were in town doing college tours. Having a driveway to park in was really helpful. The house was cute and clean. The trees in the yard were in bloom and beautiful. Could use a bit of sprucing up, in the bathroom. One thing was that when we got there, we did not see any instructions which would have been helpful give there are separate heating units in each bedroom, a fireplace, the tv, etc. However, on the last day of our trip, I was looking through the bookcase and came upon an instruction manual for the house, that was put in the bookcase in a place you would not likely find it if you were not looking there. Having it on the coffee or dining room table would have been nice.

Overall good stay however
Overall cozy place to stay. However when asked whether we could check in a bit early and check out a bit late because we have tons of stuffs to move (we are in the middle of our house renovation project), the hosting company charges 35 for one hour, which usually is a courtesy provided by other short-term stay hosts.

Lovely home in a quiet, safe neighborhood
My family member and I stayed here as we needed to be at the UW Medical Center bright and early. We both loved the home. It is bright, well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. We both felt very at home here. It has all the amenities and odds/ends needed to have a comfortable, easy stay. The neighborhood is really quiet - easy to sleep and relax. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Seattle - I'll definitely be back myself.

Comfort close to downtown.
Property was well appointed and had everything needed for a short term stay. House was clean. Beds could benefit from a more comfortable mattress or at least a mattress topper. Coasters for the living room would be a good idea. Phone charger bases for the living room and bedroom would be great.

True Home Away From Home
What a great place to stay. Great location and easy access to a beautiful Market right on the corner! Cozy and comfortable it truly felt like a home away from home. conveniently short drives to many fun Seattle sights.
We enjoyed our stay. However, the TV was unusable because it could not connect to the WiFi network and the living room wall heater was pretty noisy. Otherwise, it was fantastic. :)

Great stay in Seattle
Visiting friends in Seattle for a week. Great location to buzz around the city. We love Metro Market for groceries and enjoyed running on the Burke. Easy to get downtown to Pike Place, stadiums, and local parks. Clean and comfortable house. Great home base! Appreciated the washer and dryer and the window air conditioner units in bedrooms during hot days.

Cute, close to UW property
We enjoyed our stay. Property was very cute, clean, and fit the description. All amenities were included as listed. The only concern was the busy street outside the front door and having a toddler that caused us some concern. The street noise wasn’t too much of an issue surprisingly. My suggestion is if you are staying here with babies, toddlers, and/or small children; I would suggest bringing a traveler deadbolt safety lock to ensure children don’t wander near the busy road.

Disappointing experience but cute house
Our main issue was that the cleanliness of the property was not as advertised. There was extensive mold on the shower curtain liner, dried food was on multiple kitchen pans/utensils, and I had to pick up other people's pet waste. The source of the mold on the shower curtain liner was due to the fact that the bathtub did not drain appropriately and also that the tub spout/faucet was broken.
Our host was initially very responsive. He did send a new shower curtain liner via Amazon but I had to dispose of the moldy curtain myself and install the new one. Then, when we were trying to plan for him to come fix the bathtub, he ghosted us for almost 36 hours, despite me asking more than once if he was still planning to stop by. He eventually responded and we settled on a time for him to come over. He was unable to fix it himself so had to hire a plumber, which he did do immediately.
Overall, it was a disappointing stay for the amount we paid for this VRBO but on the upside, the layout of the house is cute, the furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked.
