The place was beautiful just as described! Immaculate and perfect for a weekend stay in Seattle. Walking distance to stores for a quick snack! Thank you so much for a great place to stay!!
We couldn't have been happier with this property. It's just beautiful. The host provided a great guide to the house, the neighborhood, restaurants etc. Don't underestimate the off street parking! We walked to coffee, the zoo and it was a short drive to downtown Seattle.
The house was perfect for our family of four. The location was great and the house was clean and had everything we needed. The rental having 1 parking spot in the back of the house was amazing so we didn’t have to fight for street parking.Teresa, the host, was super quick in responding to any questions and the checkin/checkout process was easy.
Light filled, clean and comfortable house. Teresa was wonderful, both checking in on our stay and afterward. She even helped with return of an item I left behind. The location was excellent - even though it is on a fairly busy street there was no significant traffic noise in the house. Very enjoyable stay.
This space was perfect for our needs. It is in a great location near Green Lake Park and not far from downtown. We really appreciated the onsite parking spot, it make our visit very easy. This was our 2nd stay here and we would come back again!
This was our second stay at City Haven II. It is such a great place with good vibes all around. Excellent hosts. Restaurants and cafes you can walk to. Cozy. Thank you!
The house was fantastic and made our trip to Seattle comfortable. House is perfectly located for easy access to downtown using public transportation. Would def stay here again.
Cute lil town with meal,drink and many options for a relaxing weekend
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025
About the host
Hosted by Teresa Simon
City Haven II was built in response to the positive feedback we received from the original City Haven (no longer an active listing).
These homes are part of a love story that started back in 2004 when I purchased this house. The following year, my now husband moved from New York and bought the house next door. When we met, I asked him to move his garbage cans out of my driveway. But soon I started asking him to salsa dancing. And then he asked me to dinner. We fell in love! The man who bought the house next door married the girl next door (me!). Two kids and a few years later, we kept the homes a rentals and moved a few blocks North.
I left my job at Microsoft and we started buffing, remodeling, scraping and decorating these homes we've come to love. City Haven II is the result of a recent remodel that's turned this old 1920's Craftsman into a modern beauty with period charm.
We're Team Simon and our whole family works to make this a place you'll love to call home for a while. We love it! And we hope you'll love it, too.
Why they chose this property
We bought this home for the same reason you'll want to stay here.... close to Green Lake (swimming, paddle boats, golf)! Close to the Zoo (animals, outdoor summer concerts)! Grocery store 3 blocks away (last minute wine and snacks)! Right next to the express bus to downtown and close to all the great restaurants in Fremont (cook, schmook... let's go out to eat)! It's the perfect centralized hub to live like a local while still being close to everything the downtown area has to offer. Home away from home!
