Other Details to Note:

Disclosure

Parking – We are in a restricted parking zone. One guest permit is provided for free street parking. If you have more than one car, we suggest using the nearest paid parking lot, just one block away and a three-minute walk from the house. As in many areas of Seattle, parking can be challenging.

Noise - The house is over 100 years old and has some squeaks when working on the floor.

Parties or any form of noisy gathering are strictly prohibited. Quiet hours are after 10 PM. If guests violate the rules and our neighbors complain, the reservation will be canceled immediately, and the security deposit will be forfeited.

We truly value your comfort and want to make sure you have all the necessary information before making your reservation. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to assist you and help make your stay as pleasant as possible.
