Karen is a tremondous host and this apartment was perfect for my trip. It's centrally located making it easy to get around Seattle. Her garden & patio area are very peaceful. There are several wonderful restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend this property.

Thank you James, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again should your travels bring you back to Seattle!
I can not say enough words to accurately describe our stay, except wonderful! A tiny bit tricky getting in, but once there what an oasis. Everything was so welcoming, especially the owner, which we found out is quite a traveler. Not to forget what a beautifully kept garden, and yard.All our needs were met in every capacity. Dishes, towels, hot water, all you can ask for when staying somewhere unfamiliar.Highly recommend, and would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Thomas
I'm a marketing professional, Francophile and pickleball coach from the Pacific Northwest. I've lived many other places including Paris and NYC. I love to travel, ski, play pickleball, and do all things water related. I enjoy meeting interesting people from around the world and sharing my home with fellow adventure seekers and independent spirits.
Why they chose this property
I have enjoyed living in the Ravenna neighborhood ever since I moved to Seattle 35 years ago because it's a charming residential neighborhood that is quiet and safe, close to many parks, nice to walk in, and also relatively close to downtown. It's also very easy to get to University of Washington, and with the nearby bus stops and light rail it's easy to use public transportation to get to the airport and points in between.
What makes this property unique
People are typically surprised and pleased by how large and spacious the apartment is, and I receive many compliments on the decor and appreciation for how well stocked the kitchen is. I provide many things that you won't find in other rentals, such as a crock pot, waffle maker, blender, mixer, and many other kitchen gadgets. People also enjoy hanging out in the backyard and enjoying the patio to relax and have meals.
