Fantastic spot!Location was perfect for both walking in the neighborhood and driving around the city. Teresa was communicative and helpful. I LOVED her info binder that included everything I need to know about the property and great recommendations for things to do and eat. It was thoughtful, funny and personal. The property was immaculate and nicely set up. I appreciated the dedicated parking space and having a washer/dryer.I will absolutely stay again and have recommended it to Seattle friends for when they have people visiting.

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.
