Our neighborhood of beautiful historic single-family homes is great for walking, with good lighting and sidewalks, and beautiful landscaped yards. You will see all different styles of houses, from early 1920’s to Modern, from middle class family homes to mansions.

There are a lot of excellent dining options in Montlake and Madison Valley and nearby Madison Park and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, and there are several parks and outdoor nature areas within walking distance - UW Arboretum, Japanese Garden, Interlaken park, and Lake Washington.

There is plenty of free, unmetered street parking, so having your own car is a good option. There are several buses which stop just two blocks away and can quickly take you to UW Campus, UW Medical Center, Husky Stadium, Lightrail Stadium station and University District as well as Central, Capitol Hill and First Hill neighborhoods.

Drive times - UWMC - 9 mins, Harborview Hospital and Medical Center - 15 mins, Swedish First Hill Campus - 11 minutes, Virginia Mason Medical Center - 12 minutes, Volunteer Park - 4 mins, Madison Park Beach - 7 minutes.

Our house is divided into three separate 'apartments', so while we made every effort to soundproof as much as possible, there will be people living upstairs and staying in the apartment next to you.

The cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in by far. Everything was so stocked and there really wasn’t anything I had to ask the host for bc they anticipated any need we might’ve needed (ex. Umbrella, extra towels, etc and left clear directions. Area was very safe and close to lots of places. Thank you for having us!

Fabulous location! Perfect for UW events, hikes in the arboretum or just exploring Madison Park. Easy access to downtown Seattle as well. The place is equipped with everything you would need plus you can enjoy cocktails right outside your door or in the owner’s garden. It’s quiet and in a lovely neighborhood. We both highly recommend it for your stay in Seattle.

Wonderful experience

Best VRBO I've ever been in! The owners clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the comfort of their guests and made the place feel like home away from home. The apartment was exceptionally clean and well-cared for, plus all furnishings/amenities were in like-new condition. The neighborhood was safe, charming and super quiet. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to rent in Seattle

About the host

Hosted by Katya Coachman

Host profile image
Katya and Lee have been hosting our 1926 Laurelhurst house lower level apartment for 6 years. We have recently added two beautiful brand new lower level apartments in our 1947 family MCM house in Montlake/Arboretum. We love hosting and running this small family-owned business. Getting super positive feedback from our guests is very rewarding!

Why they chose this property

Montlake/Arboretum is a wonderful neighborhood of older historic single-family homes in the heart of Seattle. It's calm, quiet and green without the hustle-bustle you'll experience in more dense Seattle neighborhoods while being incredibly convenient and close to all that Seattle has to offer. We love that you can easily walk to the Arboretum and Interlaken Parks while being 5 minutes away from fun neighborhoods of Capitol Hill, Madison Park and Madison Valley.

What makes this property unique

Our house is situated on a wonderful private cul-de-sac of Colonial Revival and Mid Century Modern homes just a block away from the famed UW Arboretum and a 10 minutes walk to the Japanese Garden. You'll enjoy staying in a completely private apartment in the lower level of our family home with a large shared private back yard/patio and a front entry deck. Arboretum offers multiple access points to Lake Washington and you're just 7 minutes drive from Madison Park Beach.
