Charming Top Floor Mother-in-law Studio

I loved my stay and I didn't feel at all like a Mother-in-law but more like visiting royalty! A cozy and comfortable suite with a lovely back yard to sit and enjoy, a lovely neighbourhood that was easy to walk about, and friendly, helpful hosts. I know where I will stay when I'm next back in Seattle! Thank you so much!

Super cute and super clean

What a delightful little studio apartment set in such a beautiful part of Seattle. It was extremely clean and it's clear that the hosts put a lot of thought to the details. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because it felt like I was a guest in someone's home (which I was) vs staying in a hotel. It still felt private though and very safe. I was staying alone so safety is a high priority for me. I would happily stay there again.

good neighborhood, pleasant hosts

This is a great spot in a quiet neighborhood. There are some stairs to get to the apartment, which is in the attic area of a house but it's very private has a private entrance. It is a very nice little apartment and I would stay there again. Great neighborhood restaurants and things to do close by. Close to downtown too. Hostess was great and provided breakfast pastries in the morning.

Comfortable and compact. A full bed for 2 adults is a little tight but a single is very easy. The host is friendly without being intrusive. The kitchen is spacious.

No TV. No living area

Was disappointed. It was a one room apartment no TV or even a radio. Tiny dining table. The bathtub/shower was elevated which made it difficult to get out of; particularly if you’re a senior citizen.

Marvelous Magnolia

We feel very fortunate to have found this gem in Magnolia for our Seattle vacation. Jeffrey and Dipa are the best! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them, and their attention to detail made our stay comfortable and memorable. The studio apartment was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The croissants on our first morning were delicious and a thoughtful treat! There is a bus stop minutes away which took us directly downtown in about 20 minutes. After a busy day exploring Seattle, it was lovely to return to the peaceful back garden at Petits Chenes Anglais and have some relaxation time. We would not hesitate to book here again if we are ever back in Seattle.

Sweet Colonial Studio Apartment

I enjoyed my stay at Jeffrey's apartment. The house was beautiful. comfortable and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals, which is nice. I was able to make breakfast there every day. The Magnolia neighborhood is full of classic houses and is hilly. We didn't rent a car and were able to get around with uber and the bus, the stop is a block away and only 15 minutes ride to get downtown, although I would suggest renting a car for convenience. Jeffrey was a great host, very helpful with recommendations to eat and stories about the neighborhood. He is also a great baker ;) We had a great time and would stay again.

Beautifully comfortable, charming, clean, and safe.

My daughter and I stayed here for a long weekend visit, and it was lovely! It was very comfortable, and the little kitchenette was perfect for morning coffee. It is adjacent to a lovely shaded yard that can be used for sitting as well. The room is airy and clean, we slept so well! The location is perfect - not far from the village of Magnolia and Discovery Park (you could walk there if you love a good hill and want a great workout!) The host is incredibly accommodating. I would absolutely stay there again - I highly recommend this studio!

Convenient to downtown Seattle

This is a great alternative to staying at pricey downtown hotels. The location and the room is lovely, and Jeffrey was a great host. Thank you for the pastries! The stay was very enjoyable. As mentioned in the previous reviews, the studio is up a couple of flight of stairs. The bath/shower has a high step. Not a problem for most folks.

very good location, comfortable

We stayed for a week, and Jeffrey took good care of us. The welcome-day croissants were a treat. Magnolia is a comfortable old neighborhood, mostly of individual homes. This one is at the top of the hill and remarkably quiet. We slept well and could make light meals for ourselves. Jeffrey and his wife make an effort to provide a quality experience. A car is required to get much of anywhere, but the parking is easy.

Owner of the property was very friendly and the property for 1or 2 people was just fine. One thing that should be added to the property is to have a TV (with cable or satellite) available for guests.
