About this property

The Atelier - Cozy and airy studio in Columbia City

The Atelier is a light and airy 400 SF studio with birchwood cathedral ceilings and skylights in a private backyard. A wonderful place for sleeping and dreaming! Pull the sheer curtains across the sliding glass doors so you can see out but no one can see in. There is no AC but we can offer fans to place inside if needed. Kitchen has a stovetop and microwave, coffeemakers and pots and pans. The beautiful bathroom features a walk-in shower with heated floor. Enjoy wifi, books, games, and a working turntable with LPs! Just outside, a comfy garden patio.
The space
Walk up the driveway to the private backyard and you'll find The Atelier.
Guest access

The Atelier is all one floor with just one step up into the space.
Other things to note
We are walking distance to the Columbia City, Hillman City and Seward Park neighborhoods. The bus stop is at the end of the street and the light rail is a 15 minute walk away.

Such a well designed and well equipped space for travelers! In a quiet and walkable neighborhood with great restaurants nearby. Easy entry. Lots of light in high ceilinged cabana-like building with warm wood ceilings adjoining a lovely patio and terraced garden space to lounge in. A great location to reach other Seattle destinations. 3 ways to prepare coffee provided by the host. Creative modern shower and bathroom space well stocked with towels and essentials. Our host was friendly and welcoming. Having had many private stays, this is truly exceptional.

An easy walk to Columbia City shops and the Rt 7 bus. Near the metro rail, but not especially close to a stop. Very clean, wonderfully furnished, and comfortable bed! Especially enjoyed the heated bathroom floor!

10/10! Hidden gem in the city, very thoughtfully crafted, and well kept. All of the comforts of cool nestled nicely into this quaint studio. Clean, safe, quiet. A full private outdoor patio to enjoy, and a very welcoming host. Thanks again, we’ll be back anytime we’re in town.

I've been burned by vacation listings before but this was a lovely stay and identical to the listing. The room was clean, heated bathroom floors a HUGE plus, the blankets warm and cozy when it got chilly at night—I didn't utilize the record player as I should've, but the vinyls are a great collection (Miles Davis and Richard Pryor!!)Yes, the curtains are sheer, but you really can't see anything through from the outside looking in. I enjoy waking up in natural daylight so the skylights were a plus. Very close to coffee shops (I recommend Onda), an indie movie theater, Ethiopian and Hawaiian restaurants, bars, and taco places but since it's within walking distance of the main part of the neighborhood you don't get all the loud noises of cars. Easily accessible by Uber, but public transit is straight forward and close by. Would definitely stay here again.

The rental is set up so guests can check in easily on their own. At other times, I am available in my home next door and by phone anytime guests have questions or concerns.

Sleeping in Seattle!

I seriously love the Atelier SO MUCH! Absolutely perfect for me - close to coffee shops and the cool shops in Hillman City/Columbia City neighborhood. Short walk to the light rail and 10 minute stroll to my daughter's house. The studio is bright and comfortable with a fully-stocked kitchen. And Nancy had good fresh local half-and-half along with oat milk to pair with the coffee provided. Beautiful patio with a well-loved garden. Just lovely! I definitely will be back!! 3
