Very clean, comfy and cozy, quiet and peaceful. Easy check in , responsive host , great book of recommendations and things to do. Cutest little patio yard area. Sadly we were only there one night literally to crash after a day of traveling, then board a cruise the next morning. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

Everything was amazing! The location is quiet and peaceful but centrally located. Hosts were so accommodating; they even helped us package a piece or art we bought and needed to ship home. Can’t wait to come back here next time we’re in Seattle!

This is absolutely the most adorable guest house!! We stayed four nights. Impeccable attention to detail!! The location is in great proximity to the Market, the space needle, Alki beach and under two hour drive to Mount Rainer. We would definitely stay again.

Exceptionally nice spot. Super quiet. Tidy and well-decorated. A little hideaway from a busy city worked wonders. Highly recommended alternative for 1-2 people who want to be centrally located to greater Seattle, but avoid the hectics of a downtown hotel. Owners are super helpful. Great communications. Will stay again for sure.

Property was clean and cute, communication and check in process were great. The only downfall was the listing mentioned there was a washer and dryer on site, however, we were caught off guard when we discovered the washer and dryer was ONE unit meaning a washer/dryer combo and the instructions provided said it could take several hours to do one small load of laundry and warned to only dry small items like socks and underwear. For travelers like us who planned a 9 day trip throughout the national parks and making a quick stop in Seattle for the night, a laundry facility was quite important and something i researched before booking this property. We ended up having to blow dry the majority of our clothes the following morning. Transparency is key to making informed decisions when booking and i thought it was important to make a mention of these relevant details. Overall, it was a cozy spot to relax for the night.

It's a super cute little studio guest house. A perfect place to use as a base to explore Seattle. It's really close to "all things Seattle" while being tucked in a beautiful little part of the area so you don't feel like you are in a big urban center. Beautiful trees, flowers, etc... in the area. Makes for a nice morning walk! The guest house it VERY well appointed, especially the little kitchen. The bed is comfortable, and I'm 6'5" and 290 lbs, so that's saying something. I would definitely stay here again!

Seattle Comfort

This is a lovely property in one of the best neighborhoods in Seattle. A beautiful, secluded garden makes this well-appointed guest house one of the best. Surrounded by quiet neighbors and within walking distance to delightful cafes and restaurants, your stay will be memorable.

Beautiful cozy stay!

We had a wonderful 3-night stay in this small but lovely Guesthouse. The host couldn't have been more welcoming - with easy entry, water in the frig, healthy snacks, and the immaculately clean space. Fabulous extras throughout: local events listed on blackboard, Seattle and local guide books, and local artwork. We had no issues at all but if we had, we knew she was within reach, ready to help. The Guesthouse is in a fabulous, very walkable and safe Seattle neighborhood. We had everything we needed, and couldn't have asked for a better stay. Thank you so much for helping us feel very welcome, safe, and pampered!
