Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful setting. We loved having a full living room separate from the bedroom. The bathroom looked virtually brand new, loved the shower. And we actually used the washer dryer, it came in handy! Cafés, restaurants and supermarket were centrally located which was helpful. The owners were very lovely people as well, which is an added plus.

Enjoyable stay!

Yeon and Javier were amazing hosts! They greeted us upon arrival and checked in to make sure we were all set. The adorable cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The local wine and Theo chocolate was a thoughtful host gift. We enjoyed the courtyard and lovely gardens and the area was walkable to several parks/beaches/restaurants and on street parking was easy. We'll be back for sure!

We very much enjoyed this peaceful retreat. The guesthouse is in a safe and quiet but walkable neighborhood, tucked back from the street and in a lovely garden setting. Inside, it’s beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed including an electric teakettle—something we use at home and usually miss when we are away from home. There is even a washer and dryer—very nice to have. And the cottage is full of thoughtful moments, from labels light switches to the artwork to the charming little book that describes neighborhood walks, restaurants, and more. One of our best travel accommodations anywhere, and we will likely be back next time we visit our family in Seattle.

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

Magical Stay in Seattle

The Sunset cottage location was perfect for me. Just a short walk from Sunset Hill Park. I walked to the park every morning and evening. It was a very quiet neighborhood. The area was so beautiful with flowering trees and bushes. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. I felt genuinely welcomed. I found excellent bus connections to Ballard, downtown and Northgate--all the same bus. I'm planning on making it a yearly visit.
