Seattle at its Best - a Great Neighborhood for Walking!!

My wife and I spent 10 days in Seattle this trip and had a wonderful time -- and if there had been a sixth star option above, I would've checked it without hesitation.

Being able to come home to a uniquely warm, comfortable and relaxing place every evening was a real joy. For our needs, the location was outstanding -- so close to nearly everything in the surrounding area. The amenities are extensive and thoughtfully provided [thanks for the cotton swabs!]. We wanted for absolutely nothing. And if we had needed something? No doubt, Garnett would've been on it in a flash! Yes -- she's THAT guest-focused! She has obviously gone to great lengths to ensure her guests are well taken care of -- you will feel that the moment you arrive. Read the other comments here, as we did, before booking. Cast aside any 'Really? This place is THAT nice?' skepticism you may have. Their overall positive impressions and 5-star ratings are, in my view, a true and accurate testament to Garnett's thoroughness, attention to detail and eagerness to have her guests genuinely enjoy themselves. We can think of nothing we would change at all about our stay [even the Seattle weather, if you can believe it] -- and surely hope we have a chance in the future to become another of her 'regulars' when we're in the area. The fact we would want to return to the same place multiple times -- as others have actually done -- speaks volumes about how impressed we were. We unconditionally recommend this property to anyone seeking to experience a unique side of Seattle and the Wallingford neighborhood.

Unquestionably, this represents outstanding value for the nightly rate being charged. It's significantly more unique and satisfying than a hotel in more ways than we can count.

A few words about the property description: Garnett's description of her property is one of the best we've read -- 'spot on', as a Brit might say. It's simple. It's factual without any fluff [ex: the description of the bathroom]. That being said, however, we think it's an ideal setting for 2 people. For 4? Uh... Not so much... While it can accommodate 4 people, we think that number of people in this space for more than perhaps a day/night or two might significantly compromise the comfort factor. An example? I can't imagine the gymnastics involved in shuffling people into and out of the bathroom while trying to keep an event schedule. To each their own views, however...

Thanks for all, Garnett!

This is our second time staying in this apartment. It is very homey, with a lot of little touches like hooks where you want them, all the tools you would want in the kitchen, books in most rooms, and pretty decorations throughout. It is cozy but still has plenty of room for storing your suitcase and clothes, hanging out in the living room, and cooking and eating in the kitchen. The neighborhood is beautiful and walkable. There is a nice grocery store nearby as well as several restaurants that we enjoyed. The apartment is also within a mile of Green Lake and within a mile of Gasworks Park, both beautiful spots and great for running or walking with the family.

Well maintained and stocked by a carying and hospitable owner.

This is our third time staying here and it won’t be the last.

This darling little basement apartment is cozy, always clean, has a really comfy bed and a full kitchen. The bedroom is large with an ample closet, writing desk and overstuffed reading chair.

The neighborhood is one of the best in Seattle, great for walking to shops and restaurants.

Garnett is a gracious hostess, ready to help if the need should arise. Garnett's Place is 5 stars in our book.
