Beacon Hill Retreat, Seattle, near Light Rail - best FIFA location!
Spotless modern daylight studio apartment in 1901 Craftsman home - walk to light rail, stadiums, restaurants, parks, Chinatown & downtown. Just 2 light rail stoops from the soccer / fútbol stadium, this is the perfect home base to enjoy the World Cup!
Please include in your request, some information about yourself, your travels and plans. This helps us know if our home will be a good fit for your visit to Seattle.
We are open to longer-term stays in off-season - message me about availability.
Light rail from airport: 3 blocks from station, 5 min from stadiums, 12 min to downtown. Free on-street parking, but why bother with a car when it's so easy to get around and save $s for tourist attractions.
We welcome guests of all races, religions, countries of origin and are LGBTQIA+ friendly.
The studio: High quality furniture, fixtures and appliances in this cozy daylight basement apartment make your stay feel like home. Large windows let in the light, yet it's very private and tranquil for a romantic touristy stay, or home away from home for a longer business trip.
Guest access is to the side of the house via a stone pathway and a few stairs. You can enjoy access to the back yard and a covered under-deck patio seating area.
Other things to note: We live upstairs so you may hear us walking around a bit or the water running after 7am. But we are conscious of your peace and make every effort to be considerate while you enjoy your vacation down time. There is lots of insulation in your ceiling so noise is minimal. Please text us in the unlikely event your peace and quiet is disrupted!

What a perfect place with a perfect host! We will definitely stay here again. Just three blocks to restaurants, groceries and the light rail. The accommodations were perfect with a fully appointed kitchen and bathroom, living area and bedroom spaces. And you cannot go wrong with this host who goes out of the way to he sure your stay is wonderful.
My partner and I had an amazing stay at Allison's place. It was very private and very nice. We loved the stylish kitchen and bathroom and the proximity to the Seattle Light Rail Line 1. Allison was very communicative and personable.

Jimi, I’m so glad you had a fun and successful stay in Seattle and that our space worked so well for your needs. We enjoyed meeting you both and would welcome you back any time. Enjoy the rest of the summer!
This lovely little retreat worked great for our visit to Seattle. I had decided not to rent a car and the location of this home to the trains worked perfectly. The trains were easy to use and got us everywhere we wanted to go throughout Seattle. The pretty little deck outside our door was perfect for my morning coffee and our hosts were full of help and recommendations. The area has a bunch of great restaurants. You will not be disappointed with this location.

Scott we enjoyed hosting your visit. Please come back and visit again! Thank you.
My mom and I loved staying here! Very convenient location in Beacon Hill. We walked to Fresh Flours for coffee and to the light rail for our adventures around the city. This place had everything needed to have a wonderful stay including a lovely bathroom with large shower, kitchen utensils, umbrella and TV apps for unwinding after a busy day. Would definitely recommend staying here and we’re looking forward to staying here again in the future! Wonderful, responsive hosts!

Thank you for the nice review. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay!
I stayed here a couple of years ago (under the "other" vacation stay app) and remembered it and Allison (Super Host!). Allison's place has all the little things you need and hope to find in your vacation rental; bed, bath And kitchen. Location is GREAT for access to the light rail and quick ride to downtown and sites. Bed is comfortable and everything is cozy. Several cute restaurants that are walkable. Would recommend, for sure!

Thanks for finding me on VRBO for your return visit to Seattle. I’m so glad you found our Beacon Hill Retreat comfortable and convenient for all your tourist activities. We hope to see you again in the future!
Allison & John’s property is wonderful! The neighborhood is very quiet and easily walkable. No need for a car, the Link Line is just up the hill and can get you to almost anywhere you want to go in the city. The space that is provided is very well thought out and extremely comfortable! We only used the kitchen once, but wished we had more time to cook. Everything you could possibly need is provided in the kitchen. Rainfall shower head is a great treat after a long day, out and about the city. Allison provides so many extras, that we are now spoiled by her VRBO experience! Her thoughtful details made our stay amazing!

Why they chose this property
I love Beacon Hill for its diversity, proximity to downtown, relaxed residential vibe and the easy walk to one of the best restaurant neighborhoods in town.
What makes this property unique
Besides having a comfortable and attractive apartment to stay in, being so close to light rail makes vacation and/or work travel incredibly easy and convenient. Public transit or a short Uber ride are also very easy for the many hospital and medical facilities in the city. Message me for more info.
