Our Scandi Home Away from Home

To the beautifully designed space to the comfortable decor and the ease in which Andrew made us feel on checkin and during our stay this was an ideal place to base our explorations of Seattle. Sleep was easy coming and relaxation was at our fingertips. Highly recommended not just for the space but for the welcoming host.

Seattle trip

First time in Seattle and we had the best time. This home is in a quiet and safe neighborhood just down the hill from the busy city. The property manager was very detailed with check in and out process and had great communication the entire time. We will definitely stay here again if we get the chance to return to Seattle.
