Such a great place! Really close to a common bus route that takes you right to the train line, or even into downtown. Very safe area (solo female traveller). Perfect for a quick stay!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew

Host profile image
I am a dual Canadian/ American living the life in Seattle! Over the years I have traveled many places and met many interesting and kind folks. When I am not being the best dad I can for my two boys, or traveling the world, I work as a designer and builder. The cottage I let, is one of my design and build.

Why they chose this property

Madison Valley is the best of living in Seattle. There is no other neighborhood that is as close to all the action, while still being quiet and safe. The Arboretum is the flagship urban park of the city, with gardens, Lake Washington shoreline and islands, and over 2000 species of trees, it is a must see and only four blocks away. The Madison Valley restaurant scene, just three blocks away, is very high quality but casual, with sushi, French, Basque, vegetarian, Thai, pizza and others. Further out but still within a five minute Uber, are Madison Park, Madrona, and Capitol Hill with innumerable places to eat and things to do of all description. Downtown is a 15 minute cab or direct bus (Rapid Ride G line starts two blocks away). If you are looking to be near all the action, without being in it, there is no better place.

What makes this property unique

My home is a labor of love for me. I have designed and built everything on the property, from every stick of lumber, to every yard of concrete, to the landscapes and plantings. It is a truly unique place that I love to share with others.
