Home away from home

This was an exellent choice for my wife and myself. My son and his family live 2 miles away and this home allowed us an outstanding opportunity to visit when we wanted and to relax at other times. It is clean and comfortable. It is away from the madding crowds and is so much better than the hotels we previously frequented for the past six years. We would definitely recommend this apartment and will absolutely stay here again. EJ was a pleasure to deal with. K&S Delray Beach Florida

We stayed in this beautiful and tasteful furnished home with our two girls (7 and 10) for one week. This place is an inspiration and a highlight for everybody who loves art. We felt very much at home in this apartment. It is located in a very nice area close to downtown and his a nice view to the city and the Olympic mountains. Thank you for a wonderful vacation in lovely Seattle!

If you are looking for a quiet, classy retreat, this is it! This apartment has everything you need for a long or short stay. We were there for eleven nights and it was the perfect place for a long term stay. It is immaculate and has a very handy laundry room fully stocked. The kitchen is newly updated and had everything a chef could possibly want. It is also located in a very safe neighborhood and the building has only four apartments. The owner lives upstairs and is very helpful with anything you need. Highly recommend this lovely home away from home!!

Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Owner response: Thanks for a great review- hope to see you again! EJ

We stayed here the week of Thanksgiving and it was a great place to return home after running around the Seattle area in the cold rain and wind! The owner is really nice, very responsive and thoughtful - making sure that the heat and lights were on for our late arrival. The rental is located in a quiet neighborhood and is convenient to downtown Seattle and the surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice home base while visiting Seattle.

Owner response: Thanks so much for the review! I really appreciate it- EJ

Perfect location in Seattle

Our family of 4 stayed here the first week of July and were completely blown away by the perfection of this rental! EJ has thought of everything; from the high thread count bedding and down pillows to the cozy knitted blanket on the sofa and useful kitchen equipment, she has made the apartment the perfect retreat. Small helpful things like laundry detergent, paper towels and a boxed collection of the "50 Great Walks in Seattle" are what makes a vacation rental memorable and delightful. The location in Magnolia was close to everything with plenty of restaurants and parks nearby. A 10 minute drive took you to the center of downtown. The 4th of July fireworks on Lake Union were outstanding, as were the used book stores, Pike Place Market and Woodland Zoo. We loved the city and thoroughly enjoyed EJ's lovely, spotless apartment. We will definitely be back!

My teenage daughter and I stayed here last month while I was in town for business/vacation. I simply wanted more space than a standard hotel could offer, but this spot exceeded my expectations. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood a short drive from everywhere we wanted to go - downtown, ballard, restaurants, shopping. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was convenient, but the best part was the stunning and elegant design. My daughter could not believe I'd chosen such a stylish place to stay. She wanted to move in for life. Hand-selected art is everywhere you look. I've stayed in Ritz Carltons, Four Seasons, the Standard, many, many boutique hotels and plenty of vrbos. This was, without a doubt, the best place I've ever stayed. It made me want to go home and redecorate. Clean, stylish, convenient, reasonably priced. I simply cannot recommend this enough.

Owner response: Gosh- I am so flattered! I love interior design and it is so nice to know others appreciate my efforts- It was a pleasure meeting you and your daughter!

We were so pleased with our accommedations- Everything was SO clean and comfy! We were so happto have space since there was four of us- We were also thrilled with how close we were to downtown Seattle. Thanks so much EJ for everything we needed to be comfortable and for having a book of maps and suggestions- it was all so helpful and appreciated. We look forward to coming back someday and will not hesitate in calling you to stay again! Diane

We found your lovely apartment clean and delightful with a wonderful view of Mt Rainer- It's such a short ride to most places by car and the guidebooks, maps, brochures and your recommendations were most helpful in making our stay in Seattle very enjoyable and when we return to Seattle we will have no reservations staying again- likewise, we would have no reservations recommending your lovely place in the future- We had just a wonderful time- thanks again for everything EJ- Most Sincerely, Micheal and Mary

We had a great time in Seattle thanks to EJ's suggestions and the great location of this apartment. The well cared for unit with its clean elegant environs make it easy to relax. Thanks EJ for your many suggestions especially the Flea Market and neighborhood walks- Great food abounds here as well- Ballard's La Carta de Qaxaca there are unblelieveable hamburgers at Phinney and 67th (Red Mill bugers)- We hope to return to Seattle in the future and will definitely stay here again as well as recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area- Thanks again!
