This was the perfect rental for us. The location is great, the house was clean, and it provided everything we needed for our trip. Would highly recommend staying here.
Might be my favorite vacation rental stay ever. A beautiful, well-equipped house, comfy beds and really kind & helpful owners made it so. The beautiful Seattle weather and flowers in peak bloom also helped!
From start to finish, this was a great place to stay in Seattle! The property is fantastic, the location is optimal, and the hospitality was top notch! We could not have asked for a better experience. Kudos to Teresa for making our trip that much better!
Let me just saw this was one of the better vacations we’ve been on. Location to downtown 10 mins away. Great food and coffee in walking distance, gas station right on the corner. Other than parking being a little tight and mattress a little soft (to our liking) the place was great. Host contacted us a couple of times to make sure our stay was relaxing and our needs were being met. We will definitely save this location for any future Seattle trips in the future. 9/10 rating
Very nice and clean property. Easy check-in and excellent communication from the host. Easily walkable to shops in Fremont and the Zoo. Quiet despite being on a main road.
We have stay here once before and loved it so we came again a few years later with our son. It was so fun being close to the zoo and the parks. Would definitely stay here again!
We took two small kids and the property was more than we could have expected. We enjoyed staying there and had a great time.

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!
