  We have been staying in this VRBO for several months. The apartment and its facilities are as advertised. The pictures do not do it justice -- while they are accurate, they cannot convey how lovely the place is. The spaces are extremely well thought out. The amenities, appliances and features are all new and first rate. The apartment is impeccably maintained and spotless. The beds are excellent as well . The location is perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Its a beautiful neighborhood with parks close by and walking routes with incredible views. We like it so much that we reserved it again for some time this fall. We joke that we could easily become permanent fixtures there. If you need a two bedroom apartment in Seattle near all the attractions, with great interiors and lovely outdoor spaces, we can recommend Lindy and Lew's apartment without the least reservation.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Jodi and Forrest, We love you and truly enjoy having you here. You are a gorgeous family and have become among our most cherished friends. Thank you for your kind review as well as your friendship.

  This home is beautiful, well-designed, impeccably maintained and thoughtfully stocked with helpful items. The views are gorgeous, and we found the location to be a perfect base from which to explore the city. And the beds!!! Wow - they are seriously comfortable. Quite lovely, indeed. Do note that the owners live in the unit upstairs. They were entirely respectful of our privacy, but we did hear them up above us at times. It wasn't a problem for us (and doesn't move this review down a notch), but I thought I should mention it as it could potentially bother some travelers. A really great place.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

  A magnificent home, perfect location for us. We felt totally relaxed and "at home". The owners are very gracious and accomodating. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, everything clean and in excellent condition. Our mobility challenged parents were very comfortable and felt safe and secure while moving around. The designated parking place on the street was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to return here again.

  Owner response: Timm, Thank you for your review, which I hope will inform future travelers and aid them in making a decision when visiting Seattle. It was a pleasure having you, Susan and the family here, and we hope you will return so we can see you all again. I'm glad to note that our access worked out so well for your parents!

  This lovely rental reflects the care and thought that went into its conception. The space is bright, beautifully designed and immaculate, and the gracious hosts have anticipated every need in the well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable, roomy and affording privacy, this is the perfect accommodation for two couples to share while visiting Seattle.

  This is a wonderful little apartment in the heart of a beautiful residential neighborhood. We were 2 couples staying in this wonderfully appointed apartment. We felt like we had plenty of room and privacy even though the apartment is small. The visual and traffic flow between the apartment and the pool are outstanding ... we felt like we were in a luxurious resort. It as a joy to be there nightly to watch the sunset over the ocean. The kitchen was lovely to work in (breakfasts only as there are fabulous restaurants within walking), took a lot of cues from it for my own home that is under construction. The beds are on the firm side for those of you who have an affinity for a certain type of mattress. Several unexpected highlights for us was visiting with the wonderful pets of Lew and Lindy (homeowners), and walking the neighborhood, amazing heritage architecture all around. Lew was highly informative about the areas amenities (eateries) and very enjoyable to visit with. We were there without a vehicle and walked everywhere. We enjoyed the exercise ... allowed us to eat more!:-) however it is not for the faint of heart, tons of hills/stairs. It took as about 45 minutes to walk downtown however there is a lovely area about 10-15 minutes away with lots of restaurants (not much shopping). We would stay here again and would recommend it highly.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Hi Danielle, Thanks for a thorough review that will inform travelers what we have to offer. It was a pleasure having you here, and we do hope you will come back in the future.

  My husband and I and another couple stayed here for 4 nights and we fell in love with the spotless and exquisitely furnished apartment, the delightful and gorgeous Queen Anne neighborhood, the City of Seattle and our warm and welcoming hosts. The apartment is private, thoughtfully designed, appointed with true quality and your comfort in mind at every turn, no ammenities are lacking. The view out the french doors over the pool and across to Puget Sound is beautiful and the patio provides a nice respite after a day out exploring.The location is close enough to downtown yet far enough away from the noise of the city. The Queen Anne neighborhood is an absolute gem offering walkable streets filled with beautiful homes,wonderful restaurants, shops, stores, bakeries and coffee houses. An absolutely beautifully maintained property with helpful and friendly hosts. Can't wait to return.....thank you Lew and Lindy!

  Owner response: Claire and Dan! We had so much fun with you, and enjoyed your company to no end. We have worked hard to make this place a special retreat in the city, and to give it the full range of amenities we think we would like to have when we travel. It is a thrill to hear from experienced, sophisticated travelers that we covered the bases as we had hoped to. I'm also happy that you enjoyed our suggestions about where to eat. Your energy and enthusiasm were infectious! I said we were sad that you were leaving, and so we were as we have made new friends in you both. We'll certainly see you when we get to SD, and look forward to eating in Chris and Mary's restaurant as well. Best regards from Lindy and me to both of you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write down your impressions for other travelers who may be considering a stay in Seattle. Queen Anne does charm well!

  This rental is fantastic. From Lew and Lindy greeting us upon our arrival to making sure we had everything we needed. We loved everything about it and we used all the amenities. We had some great tasting seafood we made in the gourmet kitchen and on the poolside grill. We felt right at home and truely did not want to leave. Thank you Lew and Lindy

  This place was everything and more than the listing described. We loved Seattle and we loved coming home to this oasis each evening. The pool and patio are gorgeous, we sat outside every night. We cooked in the beatuful state of the art kitchen and even grilled out one night. The place is brand new and very luxurious. Lew and Lindy are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed them so much. Location was perfect as well, beautiful neighborhood and convenient to all the tourist attractions. If I ever return to Seatlle, I would stay here again. Thanks Lew and Lindy, we had a blast.

  Lew and Lindy are great hosts and made us feel very welcome. Note that they live above the rental unit and can be heard walking around at times. The place was pristine and well equipped. The view was very nice and we enjoyed the pool area. The house is conveniently located to downtown and with easy access to the highways. We walked for donuts and coffee in the morning (about 10 -15 minutes) and for ice cream at night although the shortest distance was up some steps. The kitchen was nicely equiped and we cooked breakfast every morning and dinner a few nights. Grocery stores are a 5 minute drive. The two bedrooms and bathrooms on either side were nice as we were staying with our adult children. I would stay here again if I come back to Seattle. Thanks Lew and Lindy for your hospitality.

  Owner response: Dear Amy, Edward, Kelly and Joey, It was a pleasure meeting your family. We are glad you had so much fun in Seattle and even glad you did not get to see any whales because it gives you a reason to come back.
