    The apartment was well furnished with anything one would ever need. Even had an x-box for the 20-something's. Although in a daylight basement, the heating system worked really well. Lots of daylight and easy patio and yard access. It was well insulated so very quiet from above.Would easily stay again!

    Well kept and charming place to stay with plenty of room and privacy. Host was communicative and understanding. Location and layout of property makes it great to stay in or go out. Loved the double doors to the backyard and little patio area. Would absolutely book again!

    The posted photos are an accurate depiction of the unit. It is certainly large, spacious, and well-equipped. The only issue we encountered was that I had not quite understood the steepness of the stairs to access the unit. Being too older adults with a fair amount of luggage for a week-long stay, the loading and unloading certainly gave us our workout for those days. Other than that it was fine, the neighborhood is quiet and it was a bonus that it is close to my father's house.

    The property was comfortable, quiet and well equipped - suited our needs very well. We used it as a base to explore Seattle, as well as surrounding areas.

    This apartment was the perfect spot for our 3-week stay in the Seattle area. The location was ideal (close to family, the lake, restaurants and stores; near a small park and a short walking trail). Inside, the apartment had everything that we needed (comfortable beds, full laundry and kitchen facilities). It was quiet and cool, and very private. Communication with Cristen was timely and always very helpful. She and her husband were wonderful hosts! We did have some issues with the Wifi going in and out, especially in the living room area. Also, upon arrival there was wet laundry in the washing machine and a pair of used cleaning gloves on the nightstand, as if we caught the cleaning person in the middle of their work. :-) Still, it felt like home away from home for us. I highly recommend this property.

    The location and price were very good. However, the amenities were minimal. The kitchen was minimally stocked and there was no Kleenex, paper towels etc. The back walk out was nice, however, it would have been nice if it was swept and cleaned and ready for guest use.

    Super easy in a safe neighborhood to come home to after a day in the city. Short drive to the light rail. With our family traveling quite far, this was the way to go! Much appreciated!
