Beautiful stay in a quaint, pretty neighborhood. Very close to the Japanese garden, the East MLK bus stop for easy transit, and a nice little shopping district with delicious restaurants. Close enough to downtown to get there in 30 min by bus, and felt like a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle. House rules were very reasonable. Check in and check-out were well-explained and straightforward. Host was friendly and communicative. Bed was super comfy, and the backyard was beautiful. My boyfriend and I will definitely stay here again if we come back to Seattle. We had a wonderful time!

Convenient to the bus line, the host was able to guide us from the bus line to the apartment which got us started on using the bus. Bed was very comfortable. We were there kind of out of season, but I bet the backyard was like a secret garden in the spring or summer. Very private and very quiet.

The garden apartment is just lovely! It's a perfect getaway spot-very cozy, well stocked and private. It's also an easy walk to Madison St. and to the Arboretum. I was there to see my daughter at Seattle U, so for any SU parents this is a great spot-easy 10 minute drive to campus. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Carmen!

This was perfect for me, quiet neighborhood, close to some great restaurants and coffee houses, nice pleasant walk around some awesome park space and arboretum. Capitol Hill and Groceries are only 25 minutes walk if you're fit for walking the big hills on Madison street. The host provided a great space that was private and complete kitchen to prepare meals. Wi-Fi was strong, entry and exit good, just use a light for getting to the entryway at night. All good stuff, I would stay here again for sure, and probably will next time in Seattle.

We came to the area to enjoy the leaves and outdoor experiences. The location made it very easy to drive to other areas in the metro. The walk to the Washington Arboretum and Japanese Garden was beautiful. Quick trip to grocery store for breakfast items to prepare in the kitchenette. Cozy and comfortable bed and living room area. Easy to stream a favorite show on a rainy evening on the TV. Clean and good natural light.

We enjoyed thoroughly our stay in Carmen’s garden apartment, it so private, quiet, and comfortable with the pleasure of viewing nothing but green through its French doors. It’s also in a lovely neighborhood very close to beautiful Washington Park with its arboretum and Japanese garden. A very special stay.

The place was adorable, although the bathroom had mold on the ceiling that was pretty significant. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the area and the stay.
