Doug and Janna were fantastic hosts, after a fiasco with our travel arrangements and a few other unexpected developments we were well accommodated. The space is delightful and all amenities met or exceeded expectations. We will be staying again when we decide to travel to the area again!

You will be blown away by this hideaway. It’s in a great location close to shops and restaurants and in a charming neighborhood, with excellent security and access. But what makes the place unique is its ingenious engineering, with a loft bed, skylights, adjustable windows and collapsible table that are all hand built. A true gem!

Perfect little cottage

1st time visit to Seattle and this cute little place could not have been more perfect. Great neighborhood with restaurants and bars just a few blocks away. Close to the harbor and easy drive to the downtown area. Doug was a perfect host.

Great location near Phinney Ridge Ave Ballard. Just like living in a tiny home. You need to be a little limber to get in and out of the bed tho.

Super cozy spot in a great neighborhood

This was perfect for my needs - a comfortable, cozy spot in a great neighborhood. Close to restaurants and bus lines. Quiet and with access to the back yard (my niece stopped by with her dog who had fun running around). Appreciated the extra touch with snack & beverages. Hosts super nice.

Loads of comfort in a tiny house

For being over 6ft tall, I had no issues living in this space. The couch and mattress were very comfortable, and the bathroom was big enough for 2 of us to get ready at the same time (a bit cramped but understandable). As long as you don't need a lot of room to leave things out, this is the perfect place to come back after a full day exploring Seattle. Street parking was tight but we were able to park within a house or two every night. Last but not least, Doug was very responsive and personable. We would definitely stay here again!
