Short (stay) but sweet

Hosts were welcoming and communicative (also provided helpful info about local attractions/things to do,etc.); accommodations were clean, quiet and comfortable; easy to get to with dedicated off-street parking. Would definitely book again next time we are in Seattle and need a place to stay.

A week in Seattle

Our hosts were wonderful! We were traveling for more than a month - spending one week at this property. It was great to have a comfortable king bed to sleep in after long days exploring the city. We had enough room to store all of our stuff, the washer and dryer were easy to use and the bathroom was big enough for both of us. The location was great as well, close to the freeway, parks and grocery. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at adorable property and attentive host!

This is likely the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. It was so cute and thoughtfully designed. Shuang met us and helped us use the door lock and checked back on us to be sure we had all we needed. The bed was comfy, there was plenty of space, and so many hospitable touches were included! There were eye masks on each side of the bed, toothbrushes and toothpaste, granola bars, a welcome note, a goodbye note with a fun pad of paper shaped like the state of Washington. Many other things that told us she had anticipated every possible need. She was gracious and kind and we will stay here again when we return to Seattle. Highly recommend.

Attentive hosts and clean accommodations

I stayed here alone most of the time and, as a senior woman, felt very secure with the family in the home. They also were very responsive and provided extras, such as towels and utensils when requested. If visually or physically challenged , please be cautious about the small step between the bedroom and bathroom, but otherwise easy access. The area seemed quiet and off the street parking is available. As advertised, there is no kitchen, but a small microwave and refrigerator provide some ability to have breakfasts and sandwiches or warm prepared food. Aside from tne bed, folding chairs provide the seating. The washer and drier works well and the mattress and bedding were nice.

Above and beyond

The property is exactly as advertised: a private guest house attached to the main house, with a driveway parking spot, a soft King bed, nice bathroom and shower (low-ish water pressure but plenty hot), and a washer/dryer unit (hugely valuable to us in the middle of a two-week trip). Small space but had everything we needed. Shuang was an excellent host. She greeted us upon arrival even though we showed up after dark, left us warm welcome materials like a handwritten note and flowers and chocolates, and responded quickly to messages asking about lowering / raising the thermostat (controlled from the main house - host was very accommodating). There is a lovely backyard with chairs and shade which we would have used more if we hadn’t been out exploring all day. Quiet and safe neighborhood close to many nice sites and restaurants, which Shuang recommended in a comprehensive list. Certainly one of the kindest and sweetest hosts we’ve ever had. Would highly recommend!
