Perfect location for visiting family. Lovely backyard to enjoy your morning coffee. My only complaint was the smoke detector beeping in the main residence that no one could manage to gain access to. Otherwise it was a great place.
What a lovely place in a gorgeous part of Seattle. Perfect.

Location - amenities - comfort
Had a great visit with my son!
My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. It was the perfect size for the two of us and was within walking distance to shopping, dining, and a nice sized park. The neighborhood was quiet and filled with beautiful homes.
We had a lovely stay in this garden apartment. The space was just perfect for us. The bed was super comfy, the shower great & we loved the privacy of the patio garden. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and very quiet yet walking distance to many of Seattle’s sights and neighborhoods.

Great Basement Apartment in Capitol Hill
We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and taking in the Seattle sights. This basement apartment had everything we needed.
Great neighborhood, close to light rail, convenient via light rail to U of W campus and restaurants. Unfortunately was not properly cleaned before our arrival. The trash and recycling had not been emptied. Bathroom
Other than the challenging front door (which a note addressed), this was the perfect weekend getaway. Private, quiet, verrrry comfortable, and beautiful amenities. Appreciated Mitch (property manager) checking in with us just after arrival and then leaving us alone. Wonderful stay!

Great rental!
We loved staying at this vacasa. Incredible location, safe neighborhood, nice and quiet and the backyard ambience is so nice especially if you turn on the water feature. Ubers only took 1-2 minutes to arrive when we ordered! Highly recommend.
Upside: Location was great…very walkable neighborhood, very clean and had a washer/dryer
Downside: Getting into the place each time was a hassle.. could be improved easily with a digital lock…heating the place was also an issue (there were other reviews that had the same issues..time to fix if you want return visitors)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the great location and found the neighborhood walkable and clean. It's also wonderful that you appreciated having a washer/dryer available during your stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with accessing our home and the heating issues. We understand how frustrating it can be when entry and comfort are compromised. Your comments regarding the digital lock and heating have been noted, and we will be passing this feedback along to our local operations manager. We are committed to improving our guests' experiences, and your insights are invaluable in helping us achieve that. Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with an even better experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and stay near Volunteer Park. The neighborhood is amazing and we were able to find street parking every day right in front. The apartment was very clean, full of charm and well stocked with everything we might need. The private patio was fabulous. The garden was lovely. (We were there in early July).) The extra space with patio furniture pretty much doubled our living space. We needed a few days in Seattle to help our adult son house hunt, since he is being transferred soon. The patio was a great place to bring home food after a long day so we could go over housing choices and plan the next day. Our bed was comfy. I appreciated the way windows were placed to allow some daylight into the space. I rent often from VRBO and usually am in contact with the rental owner. I didn't know the manager was another 3rd party, Vacasa, which was confusing at first. But I did find that they responded quickly to questions. I never did figure out how to use the TV. Just wanted to catch local news while out of town. An instruction sheet near the TV would be helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, but dark and cold
Great place that was very clean with an excellent location. Amenities were all there and even though it only had a kitchenette, enough appliances were provided to cook most things you would want. Though if you use the stove and toaster at the same time it trips the circuit breaker, turning off the wifi, which was fun figuring out. Some things to note is that it is a basement apartment with most windows covered by the upstairs apartment porch. This combined with Seattle's grey weather made for a very dark apartment. I needed lights on at all hours of the day. The floors are also all cement with few rugs. This made the apartment pretty cold (I visited in the summer). Definitely recommend comfy socks or slippers

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay, Tucker! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the place clean and appreciated the excellent location. It’s great to know that the kitchenette met your cooking needs.
We appreciate your note about the circuit breaker tripping when using multiple appliances. We will look into this issue to ensure a smoother experience for our future guests.
Your feedback regarding the lighting and flooring is also valuable. We understand that the basement apartment can feel darker due to the covered windows and Seattle's weather, and we will consider ways to enhance the ambiance. Additionally, we appreciate your suggestion about providing more rugs to help with warmth and comfort.
Thank you for your recommendations, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Dark and cold
The place is really cute and the furnishings and Accessories are v nice. However the photos suggest way more ambient light than there is. It’s pretty dark in there really. Probably v nice in the summer.
Major issue for me was that there was no heat and in spite of many many calls w Vacasa, no one came to fix the heat or even drop off space heaters. Even though they said they would on multiple occasions in the beginning.
Net/net, I had two freezing days w the toaster oven as the only source of heat. Very disappointed w Vacasa.

Gwendolyn, thank you for visiting our home. We are glad that you enjoyed our home. We apologize for any concerns during your stay. We appreciate that you reached out and are very sorry for any delays in service. Space heaters were unavailable in the area due to a sudden weather change and temperatures dropping. We have updated all lighting in our home and upgraded all lightbulbs to LED for maximum lighting output. The thermostat batteries have been changed and the ambient floor heating is now fully functional. We hope to have the opportunity to impress you in the future.

Wonderful location but needs attention…
This was our second stay at this property. The location is fabulous and apartment beautiful. Unfortunately we had a series of disappointing events. We had to move out early, but Vacasa, the management company, handled it well and gave us a full refund. To sum it up, once the heat was switched on it was permanently set at 65. (There are space heaters which did warm up the apartment, but it was unacceptable). In addition, the door does not lock from the outside properly. The door base is missing a piece & needs to be replaced. The biggest issue was a sewage leak from the utility drain. If these issues are resolved, the apartment is comfortable, has a lovely courtyard & and is in stellar neighborhood.

Becky, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry for this last-minute shift in plans. We make every effort to host our guests as planned and offer relocation services should any disruptions occur. We regret that the alternative home offered was not a more suitable replacement on short notice and appreciate your understanding and flexibility during these unforeseen circumstances. A full refund has been issued in order for you to make alternative accommodations. We do hope for another opportunity to better impress you next time.
Short version: recommended only for people who don't need temperature controls, are 5'11" or shorter, don't care about bathtubs, and are prepared to bike or Uber everywhere.
Long version:
This really is a pretty basement unit - the patio is nice, the mini kitchen is functional, and we didn't hear a peep from the upstairs neighbors. The location is decent - some good restaurants within a 15 minute walk, and you're about 20-30 minute drive from downtown.
However, some caveats:
1) The gate was difficult to use (as others have commented). The combo they give you is *not* for the gate handle on the right, but for the mini safe attached to the left gate.
2) Despite there being two thermostats in the unit, neither has any effect on the temperature or fan. When I wrote to ask about this, I was informed that "Unfortunately, the thermostat and AC are not offered amenities of this home." I suspect that the other reviewer who complained about heating issues was in a similar boat. While the house is climate controlled, presumably by whoever lives upstairs, we found the room to get too hot for sleeping by 5am.
3) As someone who's exactly 6'1" tall, I can say that the ceiling beams are exactly 6'1" off the ground. People 5'11" and under should be fine.
4) There is no way to take a bath in the tub. The plug is spring-loaded with no way to make it stay down or to cover it.
5) If you need to park a vehicle, know that you may need to go a street or two over because the area is packed.

Hi Amelia, thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay, as well as any personal touch you found lacking. Moving forward, our local staff has taken immediate action and addressed your concerns so that we can prevent any further issues in the future. Thank you again for this valuable information as we always welcome the opportunity to improve. We understand how disappointing it was that the home was in this condition upon your arrival. Please know we strive to provide every guest with a relaxing stay. We hope to have another chance to impress you on a future stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at this home in Capitol Hill. It was the perfect size for 2 adults. We used the washer/dryer, Keurig, and TV. It felt clean and cozy. Almost everything was well labeled and easy to use. We had a hard time with getting the doors locked properly on the first night, but we eventually figured it out. I didn’t realize this is going to be a basement apartment, but it was still airy and beautiful. Overall, we are quite pleased with this stay.
