FREMONT SUITE RETREAT

This basement unit was the perfect location for me in Seattle where I was visiting my daughter who lives in Fremont. The suite is extremely cozy and warm, largely due to the manner in which it has been created and decorated. I didn't have a car, but walking to downtown Fremont was easy from this location. Also, there are several excellent restaurants and a food market very near by. The owners, Ron and Nancy, were attentive to any needs, and I would highly recommend this Fremont Suite Retreat to others!

If you are looking for a romantic quiet weekend away this is the place. Short distance to downtown and all the attractions. Nice quiet neighborhood and Ron and Nancy couldn’t be nicer people. We will definitely be back!

This is a wonderful little retreat that is within a short walk to the bus stop (you can take the E-Line and be near Pike's Market in about half an hour for $2.75 a person as of 10/2018). It took a bit of effort to figure out how to get to the house from the bus stop as there is a concrete barrier that runs the length of the main street on North Aurora... tip - there are steps near the bus stop that lead under the overpass to quickly reach the other side). The host met us at the door, gave me a quick run down of things and then made himself disappear, a quick text message away if we needed anything as he resides upstairs. He left a list of recommended places to eat (we highly recommend the little Mexican restaurant that is a quick walk from the house... about half a block). If you don't mind a bit of a walk, you are within walking distance of the zoo and several restaurants are near by. The downside to this little retreat is that the bathroom is very tiny. My husband is 5' 11-1/2" and the shower head was just barely above his head. I'm 5' 5" and it was a struggle to try to shave my legs in the tiny shower stall. The front of the toilet itself is close to the wall so there isn't a lot of leg space if you're a tall person. The kitchenette is very small but doable, I wouldn't use it to cook a meal or anything large as the counter and work space is very limited but there is a fridge to hold your leftovers from the Mexican restaurant, a microwave to heat it up, an RV size gas oven, a few minor dishes and seating for two at the end of the small counter. We found the bed a bit firm for our liking but many would find it enjoyable. There are a couple of side chairs and a small love seat to relax after a long day of sight seeing. There are nice lighting elements through out the space. There are French windows up high that you can open to let in fresh air as it can get a little stuffy but it is easily remedied. Given the amount of room to work with, it is well appointed but definitely on the small side. The neighborhood is quaint, we enjoyed walking to the various eateries in the evening if we didn't eat downtown or on one of the islands (we really enjoyed Bainbridge Island which is accessible by ferry). We didn't require a rental car as we downloaded the app for the public transportation system and found it efficient to get around Seattle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this little retreat.

This was the cutest rental! Very clean, very comfortable bed, comfortable furniture, decorated well, nice location. Highly recommend it!

We had a great time! Fremont Suite was walking distance to many restaurants and the zoo! Ron was very responsive when the coffee maker quit. We had one within ten minutes. Suite is well stocked and the bed was comfortable. Would stay here again.
