Wonderful, Cozy Cottage at an excellent location! Very quiet neighborhood with street parking. One block (walking distance) to a huge park with many hiking trails. And also close to downtown Seattle. Cottage was immaculately clean, with comfy beds and everything you need to feel at home. With its inviting front porch area and it's adorable back yard for privacy, you really don't want to even leave this amazing place!

We stayed here for a mom and daughter trip to Seattle. The place was perfect for our needs. It’s in a cute and quiet neighborhood which was the perfect getaway after spending the day in the city. The place was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend a stay here.
Appreciated the stay in a quiet walk able neighborhood in Seattle. We enjoyed the backyard area and the garden that offered a nice area to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. The market within walking distance was a great location to pick up food and other items.
Included everything you would expect and more, they thought of everything. We were in town visiting family nearby and this location was perfect. Great neighborhood, no issues with parking.

This is our second time staying in Lauren’s darling home. The place is located in a very nice little neighborhood with a market within walking distance. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the back patio with a beautiful view of the garden. We will book again the next time we are in Seattle! Great communication from Lauren. Thank you!
Lauren’s house is in a terrific location. Walking distance to a grocery store and a gorgeous park. The home was very comfortable and includes outdoor areas for eating and relaxing.
