Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re honored you chose to stay with us during such a special occasion—congratulations to your daughter on her wedding! It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!
This place was great for family. Love the craftsman architecture. Property was clean. Plenty of living space. Bedrooms were comfortable. Kitchen was setup well for cooking. Enjoyed the outdoor patio. Off street parking was great! Communication with host was awesome. Location was great. Just a short walk to Wallingford main shopping district and a walkable distance to the Fremont Street Market. Would definitely stay here again!

The host was very responsive to my messages. This location is incredibly well stocked. Kitchen is large enough for several to cook together. And it has all the supplies for cooking.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you found the home well stocked and enjoyed the spacious kitchen—it’s one of our favorite features and perfect for cooking together. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area!
We, five adult women, stayed for three nights to celebrate a birthday, and the home was absolutely wonderful. It’s beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and exceptionally well-appointed—we truly appreciated all the special touches. The kitchen and bathrooms were the best equipped of any short-term rental I’ve experienced.We loved both the space and the location, with easy walks to Gas Works Park and the Fremont Sunday Farmers Market. Street parking was easy and the neighborhood was quiet. The owner was responsive and helpful, and both check-in and check-out were seamless. I would absolutely recommend this home and would happily stay again.

Thank you for the kind review! I’m so glad the home was a great fit for your birthday stay and that you enjoyed the space, location, and thoughtful details. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’d be very welcome back anytime.
This house was perfect for our post Christmas visit to Seattle. Perfect location with a small grocery on the corner, and 5 blocks to the QFC. Also a short 6 block stroll to Gasworks Park on Lake Union. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and utensils. House is heated with old fashioned radiators which, when combined with gas fireplace makes for a cozy stay. Beds are very comfortable, and enjoyed the vintage decor. Easy check in and check out, and great communication with host throughout our stay. Definitely recommend this home for family get togethers and look forward to staying again on our next visit!

Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review! I’m really glad the home was a good fit for your post-holiday visit and that you enjoyed the neighborhood conveniences, easy walk to Gasworks Park, and the cozy feel of the radiators and gas fireplace. It’s also great to hear the kitchen, beds, and vintage character stood out for you. I truly appreciate you highlighting the smooth check-in and communication as well. It would be a pleasure to host you and your family again the next time you’re back in Seattle!
This house did not disappoint.Communication was quick and easy...all done through the VRBO messaging system. Check-in and check-out super easy. The house was very clean, well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and just an overall cozy and comfortable space. We were in town for the holidays and enjoyed the ability to make dinner and host family one of the evenings we were around. The location was also on point. We were a short 5 min walk to tennis courts/playground, 10 min walk to Wallingford's main drag with access to restaurants, liquor store, grocery store. A 15 min walk in the opposite direction had even more restaurants/cafes and a bouldering facility. Lee provided some great recs. Go to Sea Wolf if you like baked goods. It will be one of the best decisions of your life. You can thank Lee later.While there was no dedicated parking, we never had a problem finding parking close to the house.Thanks Lee for sharing your space with us!

It’s great to know the location and walkability around Wallingford were a highlight—and I love that you took advantage of the neighborhood food scene. Sea Wolf is indeed a very solid life choice 🙂
I also appreciate you noting the street parking situation and that it wasn’t an issue during your stay. Thanks again for choosing our home and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. You were a pleasure to host, and you’re always welcome back anytime you’re in Seattle.
