City Haven III was perfect for our family of four’s recent stay in Seattle! The location is fantastic to so many different areas (downtown, Ballard, Green Lake, Fremont, etc). We especially loved the short four block walk to the zoo! The owners did a fantastic job making this basement apartment feel cozy and we were pleasantly surprised with how light and bright it felt. We would definitely stay here again!

The place was a very pleasant, comfortable and cozy space, especially in traveling with my elderly parents. I appreciated also that Teresa from City Haven, checked in with me to make sure we had what we needed. Initially, it was a little confusing where to go to park (entry was not at the street address but rather the back wrapping around the next street over). In addition, a clearer address or name (City Haven III) at the door of the unit would make it easier for guests to know which one is which upon arriving-I was trying to go in the (wrong) unit in front of where I parked (made sense at the time). A clearer sign would be helpful when we first arrive. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic location, functional house

We stayed here because I needed somethings close to the UW medical center. Location was great for that, plus good food nearby, and nice walking areas! For not being a large space, it did not feel cramped at all. It was well stocked. Parking was sufficient! The host was eaay to reach and communicate with.

A lovely vrbo!

The apartment was clean, thoughtfully renovated and spacious. It is well stocked with kitchenware and appliances and plenty of large towels. The owners included many things guests might need, like a vacuum, washer and dryer and a portable crib. The friendly owner was quick to reply to questions, and her binder of information was so helpful. Thermostats in all rooms were a helpful feature since the spring temps were chilly.

This place is adorable. You can tell that Teresa and her husband want to give you an experience beyond just a place to sleep. They’ve created a comfortable home away from home. They were quick and communicative and just all around so incredibly friendly. Thank you for being a part of our Seattle memories!
