Victorian Cottage 2 Miles to Downtown Seattle

The house is charming. Kitchen and bath well appointed. Location is convenient.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Cindy and Jose. Their place is located in a quiet neighborhood with both Safeway and Trader Joe's within easy walking distance, and bus routes to downtown are just nearby. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the pots and dishes we needed. Visiting in May was a real treat, as we got to enjoy Seattle’s beautiful blooming flowers.

5 stars across the board. Cute historic house in a good spot, great for the and near our people on Cap Hill. Great comms from owners. 1 note only (cause I’m kinda old and getting the oopsies). The single bath has a historic footed freestanding tub. Pretty high and with full shower curtain surround there’s no where to grab anything for stability. Not complaining - just an observation if you need to hold on to something washing your feet or moving around if you’re less stable on your feet than in younger years. #oldpeople. Thanks again.

Cindy and Jose are the sweetest! They left us Valentine's treats on each bed and the couch. They were so kind to change out the feather pillows and comforter in one bedroom for one of the three visitors who has allergies. They had snacks and coffee waiting for us. The house was lovely, clean, and very comfortable. We are so grateful to have a sibling weekend in such a beautiful space. Thank you!!

Amazing home, spacious and cozy! Historic home built in 1900 but had everything you need in modern society and the feeling of kind of going back in time was priceless!!!

Nothing better than going back to a place we know and love to spend the holidays with our daughters Everything was perfect even better than last year and we had a blast.. even the weather blessed us with 5 sunny and beautiful daysWe certainly hope to be able to go back this year

Charming home. The hosts Cindy and Jose were very quick to return messages. All in all, a nice place to stay while in Seattle.

Charming house and thoughtfully furnished. Small but adequate kitchen. Walk to good restaurants and grocers.

It was easy to access lots to do in the downtown area. Very glad we had a parking spot on site. Evan thought it was kind of hard on the car going in and out of the driveway! We enjoyed the area including a picnic in the back yard. Thanks.

We had such a great trip and staying here made it that much more comfortable. The home is as described and very centrally located, we walked everywhere. The home was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. Cindy included lovely little local treats for us. We would definitely stay again.

Great location and clean. I loved the coffee shop on the corner. I am an early riser and went for a walk 2 mornings while my family was getting ready and I felt comfortable walking alone in this area.I would recommend this rental to friends with two cautionary remarks (NOT COMPLAINTS just things to be aware of).As stated in other reviews, the driveway is steep. Thankfully Enterprise gave us an SUV because I don't think the sedan I requested would have had enough clearance to make it up the drive, and street parking is tight. I never saw an open spot we could have used.Second, the washer and dryer is shared with the downstairs tenant and its requested not to be used during quiet hours. When we are on vacation we are out from sun up to sun down and usually wash and dry clothes over night (during quiet hours). This is probably not a big deal for most, so just something to be aware of if you are out all day.

Excellent location.

Property is walking distance to a cool corner coffee shop and two blocks from an excellent grocery store. The house was close to downtown and all the local attractions. The house itself was very comfortable and offered everything we needed for our stay.

Everything was clean and wonderful. Communicating with them was great too

Perfect home to explore downtown and waterfront. Very well furnished, kitchen has everything, excellent communication with owner, nice neighborhood. Within walking distance to grocery and several restaurants. If you are an avid walker, you can walk to Union Square, downtown and even to the waterfront, but walk back is a bit strenuous. Highly recommend this property.

It was cozy and nice!

Really happy about our whole experience. Communication was quick and efficient The house was well furnished. The location was perfect for our need to be close to our family .

The house was in a great location for us. We enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the welcome basket and the fans since we came during the hottest and driest time of the year.

Very Cute and Very Comfortable. Close to everything

Most of the activities we did were within walking distance. It is such a nice little area and the house is so charming. I would love to stay here again.

Very easy to get to downtown with public transport. Very clean location and easy to access.

The house was very comfortable and the location was ideal. We reallt enjoyed our stay.

Lovely older house in a great location. May not be for everyone but we loved it. Coffee shop and beer bar just down the street. Several good restaurants within walking distance. Trader Joe’s and Safeway nearby. Neighborhood was safe, quiet and an easy 10 minute drive to downtown. Having the off street parking was a necessity as the street was parked full every day. Kitchen was well appointed. I didn’t realize there was a tenant in the basement until we heard their TV on the first morning.

Excellent spot, close and convenient to everything, house is perfect for 2 people.

We had a very nice stay in the Victorian house and loved the neighborhood.The house is very well located (even without a car) with a lot of grocery stores around. Very well equipped as well, everything you need is there and we really appreciated it.I didn't give 5 stars for 2 reasons: One is you are in the airline traffic pathway so be it's been quite noisy late at night and very early in the morning. Some people won't mind (my teenagers) but it did bother me and my husband.The other one is we found the beds old and not comfortable. They need to be changed in my opinion.Other than that we recommend this place very strongly if you plan to stay in Seattle.

Very nice loved the neighborhood, had everything that we needed.

We were very comfortable !!!The property owners definitely know what they are doing !!

My husband, our 2yr old, and I had a fantastic stay at Cindy & José’s charming cottage while visiting family nearby. The location can’t be beat, easy access to everything the city has to offer in a cozy neighborhood setting. The hosts are fantastic communicators and so thoughtful in the little touches they left throughout the home. Thank you!! We would absolutely stay here again next time we’re back in Seattle.

Would stay here again

House was clean, well stocked, and comfortable for 4 adults. We had no issues so did not have to contact Cindy & Jose during stay. The driveway is no joke. We rented a truck due to other steep driveway reviews and sure glad we did- hope your backing skills are good as not enough room to turn around if longer truck - it all worked well for us. Bus stop at corner was convenient & were easy to navigate for us country folks. Neighborhood was safe and quiet. An overall great place to stay!

The property was exactly as described and served as a fantastic home base as we explored Seattle and the Cascades. We greatly enjoyed our time here. Other reviews are not joking about the driveway clearance. If you plan to visit and do need a car, opt for something that sits up high. We had no issues using transit and street parking in the neighborhood so no big deal. Will definitely be looking to stay here again if it is available next time I'm in town.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming Seattle cottage. The house was perfect for us. The location is great, with four good grocery stores and many restaurants within walking distance. We didn't need a car! The house is furnished with vintage amenities, all very practical and un-fussy. The beds were comfortable, and it was cozy and warm. The kitchen is tiny but very well-appointed; we had everything we needed to fully prepare our own meals. Our hosts obviously put a lot of thought into making this a delightful place for guests. They were excellent communicators and were very kind and generous in accommodating some special requests. We appreciated their commitment to recycling and composting and they made it easy for us to comply. I would love to stay here every time we go to Seattle!

Overall a nice place to stay! We loved being close to the convention center, but also feeling away from the city even though it right there! Listen to what they say about the drivewayas it is very steep but doable and we had a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Beds could use some upgrading. That was really our only complaint. We had a spider friend that wanted to join our festivities....he was ginormous!! Cindy and Jose were great hosts and always prompt in answering any questions we had...left us a sweet note to welcome us. Would consider this VRBO if we were coming to Seattle again!

Super clean, cozy cottage your grandma probably lived in. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Private parking provided. House has good juju. Would recommend!!!

My wife and I flew about 8000 miles all the way from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Seattle to spend the holidays with our daughters that recently moved into town. We chose this particular place because it was close to them but the house surpassed all our expectations.. it was absolutely perfect

The property was a little larger than I expected which was nice. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Lots of good stuff from previous guests left in the pantry. If we would've stayed longer I would've taken more advantage of the kitchen and the three grocery stores/co-ops within walking distance. The neighborhood is very nice. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery all very close. It's called Capitol Hill for a reason so be ready to be going uphill and downhill if you want to walk anywhere. My wife and I had a lovely stay and our only regret is we didn't stay longer. Would definitely book this place again. Thank you Cindy & Jose!

Nice comfortable house close to everything. The house ust old and quaint but kept up nicely. We had a wonderful weekend.

Perfect spot for easy Seattle access. Cute house and great communication for a great price!

Sweet beautiful house in great friendly neighborhood. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday and it was perfect. We hope to stay here on our return trips when we visit.
