This is the large downstairs unit, with southern-exposure garden windows, a private entrance that is accessed from the side of the house, and a guest-available garden patio.

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint daylight basement apartment in a quiet city neighborhood, walking distance from shops, restaurants and public transit. A tall person like my 6’5 husband may be challenged by the shower but it was manageable.

This is a lovely, small property. Garnett gave excellent instructions of how to arrive, get in, park, etc. The unit is well maintained and very well stocked, which is so nice. And Garnett appreciated feedback on something to add to the kitchen that we would have been happy to use during our stay. The bed is very comfortable and loads of pillows and blankets.

Sweet place in a great neighborhood

The apartment is not large but it had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. The location is fantastic--very quiet, across from a park but an easy walk to restaurants and stores. We would happily stay again.

Fremont Perfection

My wife and I stayed at Garnett’s place for a portion of our Honeymoon and it couldn’t have been better! The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us, was tastefully decorated and had an awesome and comfy bed. The best part however had to be the cute cat who sat and hung out with us whenever we stopped to rest and reflect in the great sitting area outside the apartment and home. Location was perfect for access to Seattle’s treasures and parking wasn’t an issue at any point. We both loved it and would stay there again!

Perfect Bungalow

This historic home had everything you could want and more. It had spacious rooms and every amenity you might need. Fun kitchen with everything needed. The king size bed still offered room to move around in the bedroom. One caution would be for anyone with mobility concerns- there are steps to enter and a step up into the bathroom as in many older homes. Bathtub/shower was well equipped with safety handles. The home was in a wonderful neighborhood and was within walking distance to many fun restaurants, a large grocery and drug store. Easy to park and easy to get to the beautiful Seattle sights. This is a keeper.
