Great 2 bedrooms house. Check-in was easy with the code to door being sent prior to our arrival. Directions were detailed and accurrate. Kitchen was well supplied and coffee was provided. Seattle's Best is really good coffee. The house was clean and not cluttered. The location was perfect just 12 minutes or so feom downtown. Easy drive and we found that public transportation was available just a 1/2 block or so feom the house. We loved this location and the house. The ceilings were a little low but that was not an issue foe any of us. But taĺ people like 6'4 or taller might have some issues in the asement part that we stayed in. It was not an issue for us. If and when we return to Seattle, we would stay here again.

Fantastic spot!Location was perfect for both walking in the neighborhood and driving around the city. Teresa was communicative and helpful. I LOVED her info binder that included everything I need to know about the property and great recommendations for things to do and eat. It was thoughtful, funny and personal. The property was immaculate and nicely set up. I appreciated the dedicated parking space and having a washer/dryer.I will absolutely stay again and have recommended it to Seattle friends for when they have people visiting.

Great place

For anyone tall that is traveling the place is great but the parking area is small if you have a big vehicle and the ceiling height is about 6’4” and I’m 6’6”I didn’t realize that when I booked but all in all a 5 star stay in a great location!

City Haven III was perfect for our family of four’s recent stay in Seattle! The location is fantastic to so many different areas (downtown, Ballard, Green Lake, Fremont, etc). We especially loved the short four block walk to the zoo! The owners did a fantastic job making this basement apartment feel cozy and we were pleasantly surprised with how light and bright it felt. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice stay

The property was clean and as described. It was right next to the bus station, so super easy to go down town. The only only thing to note when staying here is that you are in a basement unit (which is states in the listing ).We were unlucky enough that the people staying above us seemed to need to pace the entire length of their house through all hours of the night so it was hard to sleep!
