Great communication. Great parking. It's right on a very busy street. Safe walkable location. Town house itself was a little quirky. There's a bedroom with a pullout on the first floor, living space on second floor, master suite on third floor and a roof deck. Lots of stairs. The HVAC was unusual, heat in each room AC only in some rooms. Overall, very good.

The townhouse is well built and full of amenities. The coffee, creamer, olive oil, and the chocolate made the morning feel like home. The kitchen is equipped with everything one would need; it is a real kitchen. The king bed was comfortable and the linens were just the right weight for sleep. The rooftop was fabulous with sunrise vistas of mountains to the east and water views to the south. Communication was clear and proactive. It is walkable to breweries, groceries, restaurants, and the Golden Garden Park. We would definitely stay here again. Five stars.

The home was spacious and clean. There were a lot of stairs but this made for nice separation of spaces. It had all the amenities we needed. Loved the rooftop deck and BBQ! It is on a busy street so we had to get used to the car noises but after a little time this wasn’t an issue. Great proximity to Ballard, Fremont, Interbay, Green Lake and other Seattle areas and sights.

We stayed during a very hot week and appreciated the air conditioning. The kitchen was well stocked. The property is on a main road. This was convenient for travel but the bottom bedroom did have traffic noise. The host was upfront about this which I appreciated. The top floor bedroom was quiet so it worked out fine. There are a lot of stairs which my family found to be very fun!

Seattle Vacation

We stayed a couple of nights with family while visiting our son. Overall, the unit was very nice. Plenty of linens, kitchen utensils/plates/cookware and basic seasonings to cook your own meals.About 29 minutes from Pike Place Market, Space Needle, and not far to West Seattle. Close to Market street in Ballard. The rooftop patio was lovely and we sat outside until late in the evening.Main downside was the road noise as it’s urban and we’re not used to that. There are a lot of stairs to go from bedroom to main floor to other bedroom. Didn’t bother us but for awareness for anyone who may not be able to do a lot of stairs.It was a great location for us to do what we wanted and we would definitely stay here again.

Easy, spacious, well located, plenty of parking available

My husband and I stayed for five nights while visiting family and friends in Seattle. The townhouse was perfect for our needs. Parking was easy as we were in and out of the house often and found that street parking in front of the unit was plentiful. The bed, linen, blanket and pillows were most comfortable. Highly recommend this multilevel townhouse with loads of comfortable places to lounge.

This was a perfect home away from home. Spacious and nicely decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable. The host was kind and always available to answer questions. The photos capture the place well. We never used the door shown in the first flour bedroom suite. The main entrance is not pictured. It was more directly accessible from the parking spot in the back. Great place. I would stay here again.
