The location was great - always easily found parking - usually in front of the house. Bus stop two blocks away made going downtown easy. The rose garden and zoo were only about 4 blocks away. Many nice details in the apartment - felt homey.

The house was nice and amenities were sufficient. Great location. However, the "important details" section of the ad failed to mention there is no air conditioning. We understand it is an older home, but this was definitely a surprise upon arrival as the house was very hot. A warning would have been appreciated. Recommend getting new bed pillows as they are old and uncomfortable. Photos need updated - the murphy bed sits in the middle of the living room rather than the corner.

Weekend in Seattle

The house was actually larger and nicer than I expected. And quiet, which was definitely a plus. Despite appearing like it was in the suburbs, it's actually a short walk from grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants, plus a longer walk to the lake area with more of them. Not sure if we're returning to the area again, but I'd definitely look to see if this apartment was available.

Disappointing stay in good location

Booked for 4 days to spend time with family in town. Suite had clearly not been cleaned meaningfully since prior guests (food on the ground, leftover coffee, dirty sheets). The unit is not up to code (knee-high railings over stairs, no clear CO detector, furniture in various states of disrepair) and generally feels quite tired. It is in a great location in Fremont, with good access to Woodland Park and local food options. Host was responsive, but often challenging to understand. Upon arrival, gas stovetop had been left on, making the whole apartment unlivable and requiring significant ventilation, which host did not take seriously.

Beautiful house in convenient city location

The suite has been modernized and is both functional and comfortable. Location was convenient, just outside city center, with restaurants, stores within walking distance. A number of the appointments (shelves, homemade headboard) were not of the finest quality, but everything worked. The noise rules (eg. "don't bang suitcases against stairs on your way up") are stringent because of the old house with no sound insulation and multiple occupants. Probably impossible to comply if you have kids.

Tired & needs lots of TLC

Property is in need of updating & TLC and a proper cleaning. Fridge had pizza in from prior guest, meaning it wasn't cleaned, counter had coffee stains & debris, dishes looked they may have been rinsed and put away, washed 2 of everything & used those during the stay, no tea towel or wash cloth for kitchen.Kitchen floor hadn't been swept. Washroom wasn't very clean, cleaned ourselves to feel some better while using, shower curtain doesn't looked it had been washed in months, towels are in need of replacement, we washed what we needed to use. Bed linen and pillows are old and need to be replaced. The owner did send someone to clean fridge, counter and floor, didn't do a very good job. The owner said he hadn't been in the unit in 2 years since having a stroke. outside at the front on grass boulevard grass and dirt had been removed down about 6 inches, had to walk through to get to get into the premises, a utility trailer full of junk covered is in this area, I'm sure this hasn't moved in a very long time by the condition and flat tire. great first impression.

We stay in hosted properties often and this was the worst. We've never had a problem, and I think this may be the first time I provide a bad review in the eight years we've been doing it. The communication and treatment from the host was the worst. It all started with me asking, out of courtesy, if we could check in late because our flight was arriving at midnight. Well, the response was incoherent, unwelcoming, and nefarious, so I knew it would be challenging dealing with them. Then the host began harassing me about my party's age requirements and that they they would prematurely cancel our reservation and kick us out when such requirements were never specified in the listing. The host couldn't have been less welcoming. We couldn't even walk up the wooden stairs without the host messaging us during the next day that we were making too much noise, which was a preposterous claim. Again, we've never had a problem with hosted properties. The place was Ok, but is gloomy and resembles a haunted house. I would be surprised if the top of stairs don't violate local/state/OSHA codes as there is no fall protection at the top of them. The apartment was dusty and the linens on the beds smelled like sweat. The apartment appeared to need some TLC in these regards.

It is a beautiful mansion in Fremont, conveniently located to waterfronts and Seattle center. The rooms, kitchen and bathroom have charming antique feels. It would be nice if the owner upgrades the tv and mattresses, which are old and uncomfortable. We tried contacting the host with questions, but received no reply.

Check-in/out was simple and no-hassle. Kitchen was reasonably well appointed. Unit was clean. Wouldn't recommend staying in hot weather. There are only box fans and it gets uncomfortably hot in the unit. The main bedroom has glass doors with no curtains so there is no real privacy. We had to change in the walk-in closet.

It took forever to persuade the owner to check the heat. This after arriving to some strange things in the apartment—the TP unrolled and stretched across the floor; pillows that looked used. Great location, but be persistent in getting what you need

Almost perfect, but not quite

There is a lot to love about this place. It's clean and in good condition. It's nicely decorated and has lots of space. The neighborhood is great. Parking is so-so and the wifi was very slow, but the only significant problem we had was that the bed was super uncomfortable. Way too firm for both of us. It was so bad that we checked out the next day and went to a hotel, even though that meant paying double for the rest of our trip.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this 6 bedroom 1925 stately home to owner occupy the north half and renovate the south half for guests after 93 years of rental use. Our goal has been to restore its original grandness. We set about our creation of 3 three suites with the popular wall bed studio was first. Then we turned to the upper bay window suite and most recently completed the main floor Bay Window suite

What makes this property unique

Great close in to town location. Nice neighborhood Market with good deli 3 blocks, Mexican across the street, Greenlake's three mile run/walk around it.
