This fully renovated, charming one-bedroom bungalow is in a quiet, residential neighborhood close to downtown and many of Seattle's great neighborhoods. You'll have the whole house and large, private patio all to yourself. A short walk to two main bus lines that will take you south directly to downtown and the sports stadiums or east-west to the University District and Ballard.

Whether in Seattle for pleasure or for business, we hope you will enjoy your stay on Phinney Ridge. The central location is ideal for exploring all that Seattle has to offer. Depending upon which direction you walk, drive, bus or take a ride-share service, you will find tourist destinations, sport stadiums and business centers. The Phinney Ridge neighborhood offers restaurants of all styles, the zoo, Green Lake, lovely parks, grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries and a wide variety of shopping within walking distance or a short drive in nearby Greenwood, Wallingford, Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods. Travelers can easily reach the business centers of South Lake Union and Downtown.

There is plenty of on-street parking right out front and several bus stops within blocks. Bus route 5 runs north/south, route 44 runs east/west. Downtown, Seattle Center, South Lake Union and the University District are all just 10 minutes away by car.

The house features hardwood floors, lots of light, new kitchen and bathroom, and lovely furnishings. The large flagstone patio and garden out front has a table for four and a couple of adirondack chairs. It is perfect for morning coffee, meals or lounging. A lovely home away from home while you are in Seattle.

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed. It also features a large closet with a built-in dresser and full-length mirrors on the doors. The high quality sleeper sofa (no hide-a-bed bars here) in the living room pulls out to a comfy queen-sized bed. There is a selection of extra pillows and bedding so that you can find just the right combination for a good night's rest. Blackout shades throughout the house provide plenty of excuses for sleeping in whether you are in the bedroom or on the sleeper sofa.

The fully-equipped kitchen with dining nook has stainless steel appliances, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, hand mixer as well as all the dishes, pots, pans and utensils you will need. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are provided.

The bathroom includes a shower with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, as well as hand soap, lotion, hair dryer and plenty of plush towels. Terrycloth robes are also provided.

Fast fiber-optic WiFi will keep you connected. Basic cable and Netflix are provided. Any subscription services that you have can be streamed on the high-definition 40” TV.

There is washer and dryer, ironing board and iron on-site. We provide laundry soap, stain remover and dryer sheets.

This home also has a contactless check-in procedure that will be emailed to you the week of your arrival.

Once here, you can explore. Phinney Ridge and Greenwood have the Woodland Park Zoo (only three blocks away), wonderful restaurants, specialty stores and parks within walking distance. Ballard, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Seattle with shopping and some of the city’s finest restaurants, is just down the hill. From there, visit the Ballard Locks to watch the salmon jump up the fish ladders. Keep going and you will find Golden Gardens, one of the most popular beaches in town. Fremont is even closer with lots of shops and restaurants and its famous Bridge Troll. Green Lake, which features a beautiful 2.8 mile running/walking path, boat rentals and a community center, is a short drive or a long walk through the lovely Woodland Park. Wallingford is 1 mile away and you will only be 2 miles from the University District. Downtown, Seattle Center and South Lake Union are all a short car or bus ride away.

Your hosts live nearby and will respect your privacy, but they’re also just a text or phone call away should you have any questions or need anything.

    We were very pleased with this house! Alexa provided many quality amenities, all of very good quality, and some personal extra touches that were special such as a hand-written welcome card and fresh-baked cookies! The neighborhood was very quiet with many fun restaurants and bars within walking distance. If we are ever in Seattle again, we would choose to stay here.

    Host was amazing, thorough with amenities provided for our family, communicative and ensured we had an easy stay with our little one for our family vacation. The property is well maintained and you can tell; it looks as if it were beautifully renovated yesterday with its wooden floors, spacious shower and harmonious outdoor space. This property is immaculate and cozy, giving “mountain cabin” vibes. I can’t say enough about how amazing the host Alexa was for us; considering any and everything you might need on a vacation; extra pillows, pots, instructions and even a porta crib for our baby. Alexa provided enough detail in her house rules to help us manage daily cleaning and trash/recycling. Parking was tight but still doable as we had plenty of room to share with others on the street. Checkout was a breeze and allowed us to get to the airport on time with no fuss! Host is a 10/10 and hope to use their rental again if we ever visit Seattle in the future.

Great location, close to the zoo and just a short drive to the waterfront. The streets are very narrow with steep parking but that’s just typical Seattle!

    This was truly the most spotless rental we have seen (and we have stayed at a number of properties). I stayed with my 8 year old son. It had everything we could have possibly needed, including a very helpful binder with specific info regarding the home, and another with recommendations of things to do in the area. There were lovely details, like coffee, tea, sparkling water, cookies, soap, dish detergent, etc. All household essentials easily found. The place was beautifully updated, and thankfully no wall to wall carpeting or heavy drapery (which is great for people with allergies). This is one of the most accurately listed places I have seen. I would highly recommend it and definitely stay again.
