About this property

Arboretum Garden Apartment

A cozy private living area, kitchenette (microwave, toaster oven, refrigerator), bedroom with Queen-sized bed and bath with tub and shower. There is a couch in the living room and a small adult or child can sleep there. Extra sheets are provided. It is not a sleeper sofa, it is just a regular sofa. Located in Madison Valley, across the street from the Arboretum, the unit has a separate garden entrance with ample street parking in a quiet neighborhood. Major bus lines only 4 blocks away take you to Capitol Hill, Downtown, UW and the Central District in less than 20 minutes. Strong WiFi and Netflix. Perfect for 1 or 2 people, and possibly a child or small adult - all backgrounds are welcome in my home.

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.

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 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!

The property is located in a quiet residential and green neighborhood, parking on the street is free, public transportation is convenient. The unit is clean and functional but could use a bit of a maintenance update/upgrade (heater in the bathroom, towel bars/hooks in the bathroom).

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!
