Great stay for our girls weekend! The space was clean, spacious, and well-located. Hosts were welcoming and provided thoughtful touches. Highly recommend!
Great place and as listed! Beds were comfortable and loved the layout of the place. Would definitely stay again! 10-15 minutes from everything we wanted to do in Seattle. Would and will stay again!! Thank you!
Well appointed, clean, sunny and new. Had a great stay, process was simple Payton was excellent. Older folks be prepared for stairs. Location was good but tight streets, so be slow and careful.
My family and I had a wonderful time in this beautiful town home. It was perfectly located, close to so many fun things to do in Ballard.
The house was perfect. The rooms and the beds were fantastic. The bathrooms were very nice, and there was ample space for our group of five. I highly recommend.
Great place! Cozy, clean, and accessible. This place had all the amenities we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have 3 beds and 2 baths. Pretty close to shops and restaurants in Ballard. And we LOVED the sauna. What a great idea! Thanks for a wonderful stay.
This is a lovely property. Very comfortable, with a fun roof-top section where we saw beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The owner, Payton, was very helpful. The kitchen is nicely supplied with everything you might need, and the bathrooms have excellent towels, shampoo/soap/etc products and hair dryer. Nice quiet neighborhood as well.
Our family of 4 adults stayed here for five nights. Terrific experience. The house is very new and perfectly maintained, plenty of room with 3 spacious bedrooms and a fantastic rooftop patio. The best part is the location - easy walk to everything in Ballard (breweries, coffee shops, restaurants) and short drives to anywhere in Seattle. Really a perfect place to enjoy Seattle with a group.
We would recommend this stay to anyone who is okay with stairs. It was my first time staying in a tall thin condo and I was surprised that my folks in their 70's were fine with it. The beds were very comfortable and the sauna was great! I LOVE a cedar sauna. It was also really great to have a designated parking spot! We had a wonderful stay and our communication with the property management was stellar. I'd definitely stay there again.
We were visiting Seattle for our son's graduation from UW. The rental is in a quiet neigborhood, close to restaurants and easy access to everywhere. It was super clean, in excellent condition and beds were super comfortable. Parking in back is a little tight but street parking is super easy to find. We had two cars so parked on in back and one on street. I highly recommend!!
Stayed here last spring with two girlfriends (we’re all mid-late 40s). House had everything you could want for a short trip. Bedrooms were well-appointed and comfortable. Property manager was responsive and helpful. Neighborhood was quiet but close to good restaurants, and near enough to get downtown easily. Parking spot was too tight for an SUV (not and getting people in/out) so we decided not to park there, but there was ample on-street parking on the same block.
We had the best time during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make some of our meals at home, and the living room was a comfortable space to hang out and play games.
The beds were incredibly comfortable and the linens and towels were all very luxurous. The sauna on the roof was also a great amenity during our cold, rainy stay.
There was plenty of street parking and space behind the unit.
The only downside was that there isn't a bathroom on the main floor. This normally wouldn't be an issue at all, but our 92 year old grandma was staying with us and it was a bit of a challenge to go up and down the stairs to use the restroom multiple times a day. Totally fine for the rest of us, but just something to consider if you have someone who has a harder time with stairs.
Overall, we loved our stay and would absolutely book this property again the next time we come to Seattle.
This newer townhome was in a great location with a parking spot for a smaller car. Our Explorer was a bit too big for the spot but we found parking in front on the street. The furnishings were beautiful and beds very comfortable. The bathrooms were beautiful as well. I love that one bathroom had a great bathtub. There are many stairs in a 3 story townhome (plus the rooftop level) but we got our exercise! My husband and daughter loved the sauna. Since we visited when temps were below freezing with blue skies, we couldn't enjoy the outdoor seating on the rooftop but hope to come back and enjoy the view. The windows on each level of the home allowed a lot of light and visual appeal with views of the neighborhood. The coffee bar was very nice and kitchen good for small groups since seating for 4 was at the counter. Payton was our contact and was very quick to respond to any of our questions and followed up promptly. We loved our visit and enjoyed the very comfortable and attractive accommodations. We highly recommend this townhome and the service you will receive. Wonderful Seattle visit but wish we could have stayed longer.
Pros:
• Location. For all the places that we visited, this location worked out well for us and our outings. We went as far north to Everett to the Boeing Factory Tour and Funko HQ, way far south to Portland, and the attractions in Seattle.
• New build. Modern décor and clean. It was a little warm out, but the AC worked just fine keeping us nice and cool. The roof was a plus for our children to play some board games and relax.
• Amenities. Beds were fine. We have firm beds and so we weren’t too used to the plush beds, but it was fine. Two bathrooms. Everything needed to cook.
• Host. Payton is great at making sure her line of communication is open and immediate if needed.
Neutral:
• You can’t escape what comes with Seattle living, namely a couple insects, no matter where you are in Seattle. We had to do away with a couple of them, but this in no way is the fault of the property owner or build, it’s the greenery. This was not a major issue. Just wanted to point that out.
• Parking. I could mark this as a negative, but won’t. Parking stall was tight. We had a minivan and parked on the street. I would highly recommend that the parking stalls get painted to divide the spaces evenly.
Conclusion:
We would stay here again for sure. We would 100% book the same place if the parking stall were able to fit a SUV of minivan for our family. We were comfortable with the space. We enjoyed our time at this property and recommend it to you.
Our visit to Seattle was wonderful. The townhouse is exactly as described; clean, modern and convenient. Communication with the host was easy with quick responses.We highly recommend this as a place to stay.
Everything about this stay was wonderful! We had a family trip to celebrate a birthday and we enjoyed the comfy beds and the location was ideal for walking to the zoo. The home is well appointed and maintained and very clean. The host was instantly responsive and kind. We would definitely book here again.
