About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Seattle at its Best - the Premiere Walking Neighborhood!!

Your private apartment is set within a gorgeous, beautifully-appointed 1917 Craftsman Bungalow in the premiere walking district of Seattle - theaters, restaurants, shopping and more shopping, parks and trails for walking and biking; close to bus lines to downtown Seattle, the Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Center and the Sound Transit trains; near the tulip fields and ferries to the San Juan Islands and historic areas north of Seattle; Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are a day-trip; quiet, residential neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Relax on the outside patio for some quiet time, enjoy a short walk to one of the neighborhood theaters or restaurants (sushi, Italian, Japanese, Thai, vegetarian, fusion, pizza, etc., etc.). There's nothing you'll need that you can't find in Wallingford. The apartment is large and gracious with opening garden windows which are visible to the right of the front door in the picture.

The Perfect Retreat
I was delighted with our stay in this lovely little bungalow inside a historic home in a great neighborhood. Everything was in bloom and the welcoming garden and fountain was so soothing. We attended a family graduation at Seattle University and this was close enough and so great to come back to after the the traffic and parking in the city. Our host was lovely and thoughtfully provided us with many comforts of home. The bed was quiet and the room was nice and dark. The electric fireplace was a romantic addition as were the fresh roses out of her garden. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Charming place perfect location for cruisers and downtowners!
This place was amazing! Book it now! We stayed here for 3 nights leading up to our cruise sailing from Terminal 91. Weighing the options between here and a downtown hotel, im so glad we stayed here. Lyft/Uber is plentiful in this neighborhood, wheras fellow cruisers were having trouble in the downtown area finding a ride. Our host was incredibly warm and friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable. The apartment was full of lush flowers and greenery and i couldnt wait to open the windows every morning to have the aroma of lavender spread throughout the apartment. All amenities needed for a 3 day stay were provided. We particularly enjoyed seeing all of the small artistic touches throughout the apartment that made it feel like home. The architecture of this beautiful craftsman home was beautiful and very well kept and very clean. Thank you for making us feel like family in this big city. ❤️

Just what we needed
This is a lovely cozy attached unit surrounded by nurtured and inviting gardens and art. Perfect vibe and neighborhood for our needs this trip. Parking was always simple and close (we were visiting in summer-so the school across the street was not in session). I so appreciate a host leaving a binder, labels, and notes with helpful "operating instructions". Two things to mention - the shower is VERY small. I'm not big, but I am tall - I couldn't bend over to pick something up that I dropped- had to squat (which luckily! I'm still able to do). I tried to imagine a person the size of my nephew (who is a big person, not obese) using the shower- I don't think he would have been able to use it. Also, we were just two people, but used both the bed and the sofa bed. We were charged a $20 fee for the set up of the second bed.

This place immediately puts you in a Zen state of mind. Every evening we sat in the garden out front enjoying our wine. It was so calming. The house is beautiful and well appointed. Loved being able to walk to the grocery store, wine store, and dinner places. We are planning to go back next time we're in Seattle.

Great location and neighborhood
I loved the outside gardens for my morning coffee, & the coffee that was provided was excellent. I didn’t even want sugar, or creamer! I we enjoyed our location & cozy apartment. The only draw back was the tiny shower & bathroom. I barely had room to move in the shower & every time I did shower the water turned ice cold on me for some unknown reason. My guess is water was being used somewhere else in the house…..not sure, but not a fun experience. With no room to move in the shower & random water temp changes, I dreaded my showers. Everything else was great though.

Lovely Seattle Bungalow Stay
A vintage find of high quality. It was a pleasure to spend time here. The personality of the host Garnett shines throughout the fun quirky decor and colorful finishing touches. The appliances have all been updated and everything works well. The apartment is long and narrow but well laid out. The front room is inviting and bright. The evenings were chilly enough to take advantage of the elec. heaters provided. Recycling: yes. A large binder of household info: yes. Ideas for doing and eating in the binder. The neighborhood was very quiet and we felt safe. The 4/5 stars on location is due to the teeny streets and limited parking. This seems to be the reality in many areas of the city we encountered. Thanks. Sandy and Glenn, Minnesota.
