  We were having our floors refinished about 2 miles from this vacation rental, which is, at best, a very trying experience. The absolute saving grace for the hectic week was this wonderful "home away from home" where we stayed. Liz and Rob were very accommodating and direct with us, and we felt like we were staying in a well-equipped, very charming home. It is in a nice neighborhood in North Seattle on an incredibly quiet street. It is convenient to many places in Seattle, especially if you are interested in the University of Washington area. There are ample linens, bed covers, quilts, pillows and the kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. There is also very strong wifi in the house for accessing the internet on a smartphone or pad. They also provide an ipod with a large selection of music (I appreciated the Radiohead and Okerville River). All in all, an almost perfect place to spend time in a true "home away from home."

  The apartment is incredibly clean, quiet street, modern decor. Every room has a TV with cable/on demand. Free wifi. They provide you with the basics of everything you need for the kitchen/cleaning products/toiletries. Beds were extremely comfortable. Loved that the living room couch pretty much turns into a bed of its own. Covered parking for no additional cost. Lots of storage space. Awesome deal. Location is right off the 99 (but you can't hear the cars at all), which makes getting around the city SUPER easy. There were even chocolate truffles provided upon arrival. Delicious. Spacious with everything you need. Laundry in the building (was right next door to the unit which was SO convenient). Plenty of plates/cups/silverware. Bathroom has a tub. A great stay with zero hassle.

  Owner response: oops! This was a review for another property that I manage. Our house unfortunately does not have cable tv in every room. Sorry. I am working to get this review removed. I hope you find the other reviews helpful though.

  We had everything we needed in this cute house in NE Seattle. The owners are attentive without hovering. It is quiet and quaint, lots of 1930s Art Deco decor in the architecture. Not especially handicap accessible. 2 Bedrooms, good sizes & one bathroom. You have access to washer/dryer in the basement. The grounds are attractive with old very large trees. The Master BR bed is comfy! Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. The only thing I would change is more window coverings!

  We very much enjoyed our stay at this house, in the northeast area of Seattle. The house itself has a very warm, inviting feel. It is beautifully decorated, and with all original character and charm of an older home. You can tell the home has been well loved by this family for four generations! The master bedroom is large and has a comfy sleigh bed. The back bedroom is quiet and cozy, as well. Kitchen has been nicely updated, and the little eating nook is adorable. Liz was very helpful and easy to work with throughout this process. We hope to come back and stay again!

  This charming 2-bedroom house was our (2 related couples) Seattle home for 4 days after a 5 week holiday in the wilderness of Canada & Alaska. It was a great opportunity to relax and chill out, but at the same time take in the sights and offerings of Seattle (of which there are many) before making the long return journey back to Australia. The property is well located in the northern leafy suburbs of Seattle about 20 minutes by car for the Seattle CBD. We did not use the public transport facilities. Prior communication with the owner Liz was friendly and prompt and no issues were encountered during our stay. The house is very well appointed and very comfortable. We dined at two of the local restaurants within easy reach and on another occasion availed ourselcves of the BBQ facilities. Wi-fi internet is available and the local library offers free internet access for visitors for a set time period. We have little hesitation at recommending this property for a relaxing stay in Seattle, especially for 2 couples travelling together.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children.

  Wij - man, vrouw en twee meiden van 19 en 16 uit Nederland - vonden het heerlijk in dit prachtige huis met grappige oude details. Sfeervol, aangenaam, schoon, van alle gemakken voorzien en in een zeer rustige buurt van Seattle. We voelden ons direct helemaal thuis. Bovendien zijn de eigenaren enorm behulpzaam, evenals de buren overigens. Het was een genot om na een dag in het overvolle Seattle vol verkeerslawaai, bij te komen in het huis. Met een vuurtje op de vuurplaats in de tuin. We hadden daar absoluut de 30 - 45 minuten in de stadsbus (halte om de hoek...) voor over! (we waren met het openbaar vervoer in Seattle). Een absolute aanrader!

  Owner response: from google translation :) - We - husband, wife and two girls of 19 and 16 from the Netherlands - were happy in this beautiful old house with funny details. Attractive, comfortable, clean, fully equipped and in a very quiet neighborhood of Seattle. We felt right at home. Moreover, the owners extremely helpful, and the neighbors also. It was a pleasure after a day in the crowded Seattle full of traffic, to come into the house. With a fire in the fireplace in the garden. We had absolutely the 30-45 minutes in the bus (bus stop around the corner ...) for about! (we were using public transport in Seattle). An absolute must!

  My husband, son and I stayed in this charming home for a week in early May. We were there to spend time with my husband's ailing father. This immaculate and well-appointed cottage was a perfect place for us. It was a very sad time for us, but we always felt we had a warm and comforting home to return to after each visit my my husband's father. The cottage is sunny and roomy as each bedroom is separate by the large living room and kitchen. My husband and I could watch a movie without waking up our son while he slept in the back bedroom. The street is very quiet and we were able to access QFC and some of our favorite restaurants within minutes. The linens were clean and ample. My son loved the backyard and we loved walking around the neighborhood. And Liz was very helpful even when I managed to ruin one of the mattress pads! She replaced it at a very reasonable price. Everything we enjoy is a very short drive from this home: Mathew's Beach, Magnusson Park, the U Village. We would absolutely recommend this property to our friends and will stay again sometime in the future. Thank you!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  Charming, comfortable, and an excellent location. Liz made it all so easy and welcoming. We were in Seattle for a wedding and needed a home base where kids could nap and we could go to and from so location was pretty important. We couldn't have asked for a better location and space. The house is well stocked with the essentials, (coffee pot, can opener, blankets, etc). The beds and linens were extremely comfortable, we were able to do laundry and the big front yard was perfect for the 2 1/2 year old to run around. The fire pit on the patio was the perfect place to sit and catch up with old friends. Needless to say we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

  This is an adorable cottage and it worked well for us. This was our first little getaway since adopting our little dog. It was nice to walk around the neighborhood and felt perfectly comfortable sending the kids out to walk him on their own as well. We appreciated the original features and the more modern kitchen. The house was clean and well cared for. The location was great -- easy access to freeways as we were heading both north and south during our stay. Owners were accessible and helpful but not overbearing and we would consider staying here again.
