This unit works well for weeks and months, not just weekends. There's a full-size washer and dryer inside the unit, a dedicated workspace, fast wifi, a full kitchen with real appliances, and plenty of closet storage. We welcome stays of 28 nights and longer — travel nurses, relocations, remodels and extended family visits are all regular guests here. Reach out and we'll put together a quote for your dates.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
We're in Hillman City in south Seattle — a walkable, unpretentious pocket of the city with some of the best ethnic food in the region. Seward Park and Lake Washington are a 3-minute drive, Columbia City with its farmers market and local organic grocer is 4 minutes, downtown Seattle is about 14 minutes, and the freeway is 7. Alki Beach is roughly 18 minutes and Pike Place about 17. Bus lines, bike paths and trails are all close by, though we'd recommend a car for exploring the wider area.
PARKING AND ACCESS
One assigned parking stall is yours, with two compact overflow stalls along the fence shared with the upstairs unit, plus free street parking. Entry is through your own private door on the right side of the house — just two steps up from the walkway, with no interior stairs and everything on one level once you're inside.
PETS
We absolutely love furry friends and we know that they're a part of the family. However, we do reserve the right to decline on a case by case basis. We kindly request that you check with us prior to booking and let us know. We ask they stay off the furniture and bedding, and that you scoop the poop—because no one likes surprises in the yard. All pets also need to be house trained.
GOOD TO KNOW
Noise: This is the lower level of a duplex, so there's a unit above you — and we've put real work into making sure that isn't your problem. Our remodel added a sound barrier to the ceiling specifically for this, and in practice most guests hear nothing beyond the occasional footstep. We mention it so there are no surprises.
Surveillance cameras: We want to ensure that our home is safe and secure, so we do have surveillance cameras monitoring the exterior perimeter of the house around the clock. Don't worry though, we won't be using them to spy on you, we just want to make sure that our home and guests are safe and secure.
