Cute place, very clean

My wife & I stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting the area. Although cozy, it had everything we needed for an extended stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Location is great - very close to a huge selection of restaurants.

We loved staying here again!

After an absence of 7 years, we returned to visit Seattle. We were thrilled to be able to stay in Garnett’s apartment again. The location is perfect for what we wanted to do and was close to the bus lines. The neighborhood is charming and and fun to walk in. The apartment is very cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything we could possibly need, and we love how it is decorated, Can’t wait for our next trip!

About the host

Hosted by Garnett Hundley

Host profile image
I live in the main part of this house - renting out the two separate apartments. I enjoy meeting new people and take great pleasure in being able to share this part of the country with others. There's so much to do here you'll have to come back time and time again to see it all.

Check out my other property, same location - 364168.

Why they chose this property

I bought my house in 1987. Once I toured this neighborhood, I knew it was for me. The mother-in-law apartment was part of the house when I moved in - and has provided opportunity for 'sharing the wealth' all these years.

What makes this property unique

You'll be able to look out the back kitchen window at the lovely garden, close the curtains for a quiet and peaceful sleep in the bedroom, enjoy the bright sun and park-view from the living area. If the day is warm, open the divided-light porch windows and let the breeze blow in the scents of the flowers and trees that surround this charming property.
