About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Urban Woodland Retreat, Near the ~UW~, Convenient to Everything

You will be delighted as you descend from street level in a quiet family neighborhood to your garden-level suite opening onto a mature wooded greenbelt along the popular Burke-Gilman trail. You will open your private entrance to find a lovely, roomy apartment, providing two comfortable bedrooms. You'll have to decide whether to sink into the comfortable sofa to enjoy the big screen TV with cable, cozy up before the floor to ceiling windows to drink in the serene view of trees, birds and Lake Washington in the distance, or cook a gourmet meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Your guests will relax and chat at the bar while you create, then you can share your bounty at the dining table. You may choose to barbecue outdoors and dine al fresco on your private deck, patio or around the crackling fire-pit.

The first bedroom has a king size bed, huge closet and wall-mounted TV. The second bedroom has an inviting queen size bed, convenient storage and a large window looking out on the wooded garden. This bedroom adjoins the full bathroom with tub and shower, separate vanity with plenty of storage.

You have your own laundry room, complete with front loader, high efficiency washer and dryer. Your suite will always be comfortable, with natural gas heat and central air conditioning. You will enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room. You and your family will always feel safe with your own security system.

Your guest suite is your home away from home, secluded-feeling but minutes away from all the amenities and activities you could want. You have your own covered parking spot steps from the stairway that takes you down three levels to your urban oasis. You will find easy street parking in the uncrowded neighborhood. You are steps away from public transportation, taking the Metro bus to the University District, Seattle Center, Northgate, Ballard or downtown in minutes. The bus will also take you to the University Station for light rail to downtown, the sports stadium area and Sea-Tac airport. You can hop on the Burke-Gilman trail for a walk, run or bike trip to Magnuson Park, University Village, the University of Washington campus, or points beyond.

Special note: We have recently completed the second unit in our home for rental, now available! Please check out VRBO #3930539, https://www.vrbo.com/3930539, if you need space for more guests.

Lovely urban oasis
Wow, this place is amazing. Ron, the owner, takes great pride in creating a welcoming environment both inside and out. The bathroom and kitchen were thoughtfully stocked, the fire pit and s'mores kit are a great touch, and the mature plants on the patio are divine!

Best girls trip
First time in Seattle and it could not have been better. We loved the home and the neighborhood we were in. The house is beautiful and so relaxing. The outdoor space is stunning and it backs up to a great trail. We didnt have time to go on the trail next time, but plan to be back. One friend decided this area is where she wants to move to next. The house feels very zen, from beautiful side tables to the art on the walls. The beds were so comfortable and we all loved the pillows. Everyone wished we had more time to spend. One of the best VRBO's I have stayed at Crystal

I would give 10 stars
The property was so fully stocked I could have brought less! Razors, full size soap bars, tooth brush & paste, hair dryer, laundry detergent, straightener, coffee, tea, s’mores kit for my children (which they loved). I could go on. The hosts are so gracious. Ron greeted us when we arrived and gave us a walkthrough.

Just what we needed
Three family members (my sister, her husband and I) stayed during our brother's hospitalization at the UW. It was a peaceful place to return to each evening. Ron was a gracious host and the apartment was so well-equipped and immaculate. We are all 60+ and for some the access stairs might be an issue, but we were fine. The privacy of the yard provided a haven of beauty.

Beautiful, relaxing, conveniently located home away from home
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect and the backyard is amazing. We enjoyed a morning walk on the nearby biking bath and upon return had coffee on the cozy deck at the house enjoying the view of the backyard. The house is a short walk to a nearby grocery store (which has great bagels and soups). In general, the neighborhood is beautiful to walk around: it's hilly, quite, and provides great views of Mt. Rainier. The house is close to UWashington and the University Village. We enjoyed riding bikes on the nearby trail and around Seattle. The house is also close to several bus stops and a short Uber/Lift ride from the 1 Line metro line; so easy to get to where ever you need. Inside the house was very cozy and had everything we needed and more. The owner(s) are very thoughtful and even had extra toothbrushes and razors. The kitchen has everything. The owner(s) greeted us and showed around the property; he was also available anytime to answer questions. The backyard is amazing and has a grill and a fire pit, which makes it for a wonderful evening, if you are not out and about in Seattle. I would definitely come back and would highly recommend it to others.

We came back!
This is our second time staying here - and we loved it just as much the second time as the first. The location next to the Burke Gilman trail allowed us to cheer on the half marathoners from the backyard - we were there to watch our daughter run the race. Everything has been considered and is impeccably kept. Thank you for another lovely stay.
