Light and bright, University District Studio Apartment...fantastic location!

This Studio is a wonderful retreat in the middle of the vibrant University District of Seattle. Whether this is your first time visiting Seattle, or your home away from home, our Studio is in an ideal location to experience this great city.

Many wonderful amenities, all with in walking distance. University of Washington Campus, Husky Stadium. ample restaurants of almost any cuisine, Childrens Hospital, Light rail station with easy access to downtown Seattle and the airport, University Farmers Market (open year round on Saturdays from 9am-2pm), and University Village shopping mall to name a few.

This rental space is above our garage with a private deck and entrance. Plenty of natural light fills this comfortable, clean and inviting space. There is a King sized bed, 3/4 bathroom, WIFI, TV with ROKU connection. Tea/coffee/snacks provided. Free zoned street parking is available if a car is needed but the property is located in a highly walkable area and we recommend not bringing a car. Walking, Uber/lyft and lightrail are more convenient, less expensive and less stressful than dealing with parking and traffic in Seattle!

We hope you will find this the perfect home base for your time in Seattle!

Great place and a great value!

We loved our three night stay in Seattle for a wedding! This place was just what we needed! There is not a lot of storage space and that was the only draw back! The thoughtful extra touches were very appreciated! Communication was pretty spot on. Check in was super easy! We walked through a lovely yard to get to our area and our brief interaction with family was very gracious! We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine on our patio. Thank you for our stay and should we find ourselves back in the Seattle area, we hope you will be free for us to book again.

Beautiful neighborhood & Excellent location!

This adorable studio was perfect for my stay in Seattle for a concert & lake day. The grounds are gorgeous, lovely private patio for morning coffee & evening cocktail, & awesome location. Both Green Lake & Lake Washington are very close along with tons of bars, restaurants & shopping. Kristi is very responsive & has packed in all you will need for a stay, even a bottle of wine. Thank you Kristi! I will definitely stay here again if I ever need a comfortable place to stay for a weekend trip to Seattle :-)

Very nice neighbourhood. The studio is small but they made the most of the space available. Very tastefully furnished and clean. The only issue for criticism is the fact that the door only closes with a noticeable gap. Kristi is a vey helpful and flexible host.

You can tell Kristy takes pride in her place and as a host. Her place is beautiful! Her back yard is beautiful! The studio was cute, comfortable, and clean. She gave some extra touches like a bottle of wine, snacks, tea, coffee, and chocolates. I would 100% recommend Kristy's place.

Lovely small studio apartment, great location

Kristi’s apartment was clean and bright, the bed super-comfortable, and all communication clear. The quiet tree-lined boulevard felt very safe, and it was a short walk to restaurants and stores. My stay was in May, and the inviting garden around the apartment and adjoining home was bursting with spring splendor. The apartment doesn’t have a whole lot of floor or personal storage space, but it’s fine for two people who don’t need extra room to “spread out.” I wouldn’t hesitate to stay with Kristi again!

Great location, easy parking and comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay in Kristi's suite. The bed was comfortable, and many amenities, including coffee and snacks, were provided. We were also greeted with a bottle of wine, which was an added touch! Her cat, Miso, is very friendly and visited us each morning. She was a great hostess from whom we welcomed the snuggles. Parking was a sinch, and is within walking distance to the farmer's market. It is close to many other restaurants as well so we didn't have to worry about driving and parking anywhere. We enjoyed staying further from downtown and taking the train, which the station is also only a short 15 to 20-minute walk away. We would stay here again!

Perfect weekend

For the first time ever the pictures didn't do the property justice.. We were pleasantly surprised at how perfect the property was for ous and our " city getaway". The hosts were on point for all of our needs and went above and beyond for us. A quick walk to the light rail, lots of restaurants and thrift shops nearby and not to mention the perfect walk to the Burke and the Neptune. Showing up to a our place with a bottle of wine waiting, spoiled us; we will be back. Thanks
