About this property
Quiet Flat. Vibrant Neighborhood! Walk to Pike Place, great restaurants & more.
We call this lovely flat Swallow's Rest. Filled with charm and all you need for a fabulous extended urban experience. The windows open onto a courtyard, letting in light and shielding you from city noise. Step outside and it’s a quick walk to the sites, great dining, music and more. This 2nd floor condo includes air conditioning (April to October) and is 2.5 blocks from Whole Foods and 1 block from an Amazon Go, the ultimate in contact free shopping. We have weekly and monthly discounts to make an extended stay affordable. Bookings of 28+ days avoid the 10% city hotel taxes, this is just the law but knowing can save you.
Built in 1922 and converted to condos in 2007, Swallow's Rest is filled with charm and everything you'll need for a fabulous urban experience. The windows open out over an interior courtyard, letting in lots of light and shielding you from the noise of the city. Step outside and you’re a quick walk from Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, AMZN & MSFT offices, great dining, music & more
Swallow's Rest is in a pretty perfect location. Here’s what you’ll find on a 10 minute walk:
• Stroll North and you’ll be at the Seattle Center, featuring the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Key Arena and Experience Music Project. The Gates Foundation is just across the street.
• Head South and you’ll be at the flagship Nordstrom store, Zara and a ton of great shopping. You’ll also find the Washington Convention Center in this direction.
• Meander West and you’ll be on your way to Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, the Great Wheel, Seattle Aquarium and the Ferry Terminal (take a ride to Winslow an enjoy the views and village).
• Walk East and in four blocks you’ll be at the center of high tech Seattle – Amazon, Microsoft and a number of innovative start ups have offices here. Plus a slew of great restaurants.
Dining. Seattle is a very foodie town and within a block and a half of Swallow's Rest, you’ll be spoiled for choice. (and the flagship Top Pot Doughnuts is just 20 steps from the building’s front door). If you want to dine in, there are three grocery stores within walking distance – including a Whole Foods.
With a Walk Score of 99, you truly can get just about everywhere on foot.
We don’t recommend renting a car for your visit – you can grab a cab at the airport or take the Link light rail to the Westlake station (35 minutes/$3) and you’re 4 blocks from the condo. If you do drive, there’s a parking garage half a block away with competitive overnight rates.
To explore Seattle’s other neighborhoods – Ballard, Capital Hill, Fremont, Madison Park and more – try Uber or (website hidden) any of these options: • South Lake Union Streetcar (2 blocks away) • Pronto Cycle Share (around the corner) • Trip planning, King Country Metro (bus stops nearby)
If you want to explore outside the city, Avis, Hertz, Enterprise and Budget all have offices within walking distance. Great day trips include wine tasting in Woodinville or visiting Port Townsend, The Ho Rainforest and Mount Rainier.

Perfect location! Information in the apartment about the Vrbo and surroundings was very helpful. Great water pressure and temperature. Cozy and comfortable. Quiet. Highly recommend this place. Will return.
The flat was perfect and had everything we needed in a great location around so many things to do. I unfortunately left some laundry in the dryer and the host happily helped me get my clothes back. I’ll be booking again this place again!!
Excellent downtown location close to everything. Well-appointed with full kitchen, dishwasher, evening a washer and dryer. Clean and comfortable with communicative and gracious hosts. Recommend.
Communication was great, the location was very central to everything, the place was clean and they even left snacks! The only issue was how loud it is when anyone is moving around on the floor above. This is obviously not something the owners can control and the upstairs neighbors were not doing anything crazy, but every step they took make the floor creak and was extremely loud!
Great location, clean & comfortable. Walking distance to all the places we wanted to go to. Located in a cool older building, lots of charm. We enjoyed our stay.
Flat is close to everything downtown. Easy to get to. The host clearly have worked hard to make your stay nice. Our only complaint was noise from the floor creaking in the flat above.
Super happy with the place! The listing didn't reveal that that you're just 100 yards from one of the finest jazz music clubs in the country; that there's a 2000 square foot donut and coffee place just a few feet away thats full of warm happy people all day long .. or that there's a monorail running down the block! Coolest place in Seattle - book it !
Great location: convenient w/ multiple transportation options, walkable, numerous restaurant selections, and sightseeing options.Host: super responsive, easy and pleasant to communicate withSmall yet very spacious full service apartment.Must visit new Seattle promenade areaWould definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay! Cute property with everything you could possibly need fir a great stay in Seattle. Can walk about anywhere from their property.
I spent 4 nights at this wonderful apartment and couldn’t have been happier. Location, location, location! Walkable to restaurants, the waterfront, the Convention Center, the Space Needle, etc. Fully appointed, tastefully furnished, cozy, clean, and compact. Would definitely stay there again.
Great location for walking to the sights. Top Pot next door was a definite bonus. There are stairs if this is an issue. A little noisy, but to be expected if you want to be in the city. Loved it!
We could not have asked for a better spot in terms of access to major sites. The apartment was exactly as advertised and the hosts do a great job of making you feel welcome. Would stay here again for sure. Thank you!
Excellent walkable location to most major attractions in downtown Seattle. Good information from property manager which was very helpful in finding restaurants, etc.

Owner provided terrific experience from beginning to end! Great location - very walkable. I didn't have a car and didn't need it. Would highly recommend staying here.
I am very pleased with the unit. The location is excellent, the Pike Place Market, Space Needle, restaurants were all walkable as well as the hotels downtown where my conference was. The place itself was cozy with everything I needed available including french press coffeemaker, ironing board, hair dryer. We even had a welcome gift basket of goodies :-) The place was clean and surprisingly quiet except for occasional car honks and ambulance siren which was understandable given the location. John and Lynn's open line of communication was great. I have been a long time VRBP customer and I will rate my stay here as one of the top places given the location, comfort, interaction with owners, and price too!
