very sweet little spot

Incredibly clean, well-provisioned, great and very convenient neighborhood (grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants withing easy walking distance), off-street parking, laundry, lovely hosts. I was here for 12 days for medical appointments and so appreciated having this cozy spot to come home to. Wonderful and affordable, and sooo clean which I really appreciated - would absolutely come back. Also, I got to meet Cindy briefly in passing - she was so kind and went out of her way to make an early check in possible. Highly recommend :---). Thank you Cindy and Jose!

Family Visit

Perfect location for visiting family who have an apartment in the Central District. Unit was clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed walking to Katy's in the morning for coffee with sightings of Ana's Hummingbirds in a roadside garden and Bewick's Wren in the house shrubs. Easy, although hillly (this is Seattle), walk to PCC and restaurants around 23rd St. Outdoor lighting on sensors worked well when I returned at night. Heat and hot water worked well. The listing is accurate so be aware of the low ceiling and the step up toilet and shower. I did not find those quirks to be any problem. I hope to stay here again the next time I visit. Very happy I found this place.

Comfy place to stay

The hosts were kind and communicative. The unit was comfy and clean. The only thing to be aware of is stairs to get up and down from the unit, so definitely be aware of that if you use mobility aids or otherwise struggle with stairs.

Recovery VRBO

This property is basically a studio apartment. It’s a very cozy, comfortable place to stay. I stayed here after having major surgery to recover. For us, it was close to the hospital. However, its convenient location near shops, restaurants, churches, etc. makes it an excellent place to stay no matter your reason. The quiet neighborhood is also a plus.

First time in Seattle! It’s kind of a crazy city but our little home away from home felt safe and was everything we needed for our five day stay. Comfy bed, full kitchen, hot showers and a some tv to fall asleep to. Nice little place :)

Great location for a quick getaway!

So great! The location is awesome. Great if you have a rental car since it has a parking spot, and a bus stop to access public transit less than a five minute walk away. We loved our stay. The kitchen was also amazing and had every tool you could think of needing. Thank you!!!

Great location, clean and comfortable.

We were in town due to a family member's injury in a serious car accident. We needed a place to stay near Harborview Medical Center. This was a huge help to have a nice place that was affordable. It was a pretty walk to the hospital, and the immediate area around the house was nice. There was a little market a block away and a Trader Joe's about 5-6 blocks away. Cindy and Jose were extremely nice and were compassionate and flexible when our plans changed based on our family member's condition.

Great location with off street parking

It is close to markets, yummy breakfast spots and restaurants. Parking in Seattle can be tough so we were very happy to have off street parking. The hosts were very responsive to our questions/needs. We never used the full kitchen but was nice to have the option of we decided to stay in for dinner. Might want to pick up a tin of instant coffee if you don’t want to make a whole pot. Added bonus, a basement apartment means it stays relatively cool during the summer. Side note: If you have a bum knee and aren’t renting a car the hike up the driveway could be a chore.
