2-Bed Full Kitchen PNW-Style Wallingford Basement

HunterRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Colin and Robin were super gracious and lovely hosts! I had to spontaneously relocate for a couple of weeks locally in seattle, and they were extremely helpful from first comms to the end of the stay! It’s a rad neighborhood with a ton to do, their place gives you an opportunity to recharge and relax only a few blocks away from the action so you can get going back out into the city. Super close to bus lines, light rail, food, bars, parks, live music. Very reasonably priced and couldn’t recommend more highly!

Everything was lovely, just as described. Unit was a little hard to find but Cassandra's directions helped immensely. Quiet neighborhood but close to 522 and I5. Unit was clean, nice kitchen, big TV in living room space, comfy bed, clean bathroom. Cassandra responded to all questions very quickly. Will definitely stay here again if it's available next time we visit our kid in Seattle.

Elegant U District Abode

DoriRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The space was just as pictured in the ad. We stayed for a week and it was very comfortable. I reached out to Eddie a couple of times, and he responded very quickly. The location was great, nice neighborhood and close to transportation, food and activities. We didn't have any problem with parking, as the people staying downstairs did not have a car. Steep driveway as host noted, but we got used to it. The house was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and toiletries were provided. All in all it was a great place to stay! We recommend this location and Host, and we would surely rebook.

Loved this house! We will definitely stay here each time we visit Seattle. The location is wonderful, the house is spacious and clean, and the king sized bed is a luxury!

Stylish 1bdrm in U-District. 2blks to Light Rail

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This rental was perfect for my situation. I needed a space nearby family who I was visiting and also near public transportation. This location met that criteria. The room was very clean and I appreciated the snacks that were ready (the animal crackers were nostalgic). Great water pressure and temperature. Nice large towels. While the room was on ground level, I felt safe the whole time. I did not do much cooking on this trip, but when scanning the kitchen it seemed well enough stocked and there was a small market and a Trader Joe's within 5 minutes walk. Overall a pleasant stay and I would definitely consider it again on future trips to Seattle.
