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!

Great place

The 2 bedroom home makes efficient use of its space. Nice layout. Very clean. The home had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch - we went out for dinners. The bus to Ballard and many great restaurants was right in front of the house. The bus to downtown Seattle was just a block away. We stayed for 3 nights and was perfect stay.

Fun in Seattle

This is a cute basement apartment with everything you need for a brief stay. The beds are comfortable and the manager welcoming and attentive. Thank goodness there is assigned private parking! Seattle neighborhood parking is challenging and the cars lining the streets make driving the narrowed streets a driving adventure. Easy access to downtown and many local sites.

Wonderful property in the Fremont neighborhood

We visited the Seattle area in April, 2024 and had a great experience during our stay. The unit was very clean, nicely decorated. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is convenient and in a very walkable area. We walked to dinner and took a short walk to the Woodland Park, which is about 4 blks away. We highly recommend this property if you are in the Seattle area.

Bucket List Birthday for Mom

We were looking for a well placed location to enjoy an 80th birthday bucket list trip for our mom when we found this property. It's located within easy reach of Hwy 99 into the city, close to a great grocery (Marketime Foods) and in a quiet neighborhood great for walking to a nearby park. We had everything we needed for a comfortable home base. Thanks to the owners that offered this place to stay.

Cozy Seattle Home

This was the perfect place for us to stay while we were visiting family in Seattle. It was very close to the bus line and easy to access by car as well. The pictures accurately represented the home and the host was extremely nice and helpful, especially as we arrived the same day as a massive ice storm. She and her husband were able to prepare the VRBO for my family before we arrived and made sure that we had everything that we needed. I would definitely stay here again.
