Fabulous Seattle Home!

I and a group of friends from South Dakota rented this property to attend a Packers/Seahawks game (GoPackGo!). Pre-rental communication was excellent including a no hassle schedule change within the posted time limit. Checkin was a breeze. Communication during the stay was timely and the host really did impart that she cared about our comfort. The photos represent the home’s layout and amenities accurately. The kitchen and common spaces are well appointed and very well lit with both overhead lighting and multiple lamps. There are multiple TVs and the internet was fast. The cute little bungalow in the backyard afforded privacy to the one couple in our group, and all of the beds were comfortable (including great linens). I don’t think you could find a better location. We were less than five minutes from the light rail and our total door to door commute to the sold out football game was around 30 minutes. We were also walking distance to the Market and other iconic Seattle sights. We used Door Dash several times. There were seemingly endless options and we never waited longer than 20-30 minutes for hot food. Checkout was also very simple. I hate when I rent a place and the list of check out responsibilities makes me wonder why I have to pay a cleaning fee, but this rental had a short common sense checkout list that made sense but did not cause us to have to get up an hour earlier for our already early flights. Would eleven out of ten rent again.

great house for ladies trip - pay close attention to the bedroom details

This property is ideally located just a short walk from the subway, making it perfect for groups without their own transportation. It features multiple bedrooms and plenty of space for guests to get ready (including full size mirrors!). Downstairs there was a sectional sofa and large dining table for gatherings (different than what was in photos). On the second floor, the king bedroom is private, while the semi-private queen bedroom (had curtains for privacy) also has two futons and access to the loft (third floor) via a spiral staircase. The loft includes two twin beds with a door leading to the fourth bedroom in the house. Those sleeping on the 3rd floor must go to the 2nd or 1st floor to access the bathroom. Bathrooms in the house include a full bath with a small shower on the first floor and a full bath with clawfoot tub/shower on the second floor. The 5th bedroom and 3rd bathroom (half bath) is located in a detached garage. The 6th bedroom described as a cabin, is a bed in a detached shed (interior nicely updated) land lacks direct access to a bathroom - not ideal for a woman. Kitchen has new appliances. We didn't have hot water and the property manager was quick to rectify. They had installed a new dishwasher the day before and missed turning the hot water back on. Additionally, was also quick to answer questions we had. While the bedroom layout may be unconventional, the owner effectively maximizes the space. Great house for a ladies trip!

Awesome place

We went with two families and this place is perfect. There is so much space that everyone could have their own privacy. The location is perfect, 2 blocks from the train to get anywhere but a nice walk to the market. The host was great. If ever I’m in Seattle again this will be the place!

Capitol Hill at Christmas

A very convenient location for our family gathering. Close to restaurants, grocery shopping, not far from downtown. On a quiet residential street and in a good neighborhood for walking to nearby parks and business areas. Off-street parking was much appreciated. Kitchen was on the small side and somewhat basic, but navigable.

Perfect for a group

I was very impressed by the communication! Rebecca was incredibly helpful. The space was perfect for our small group of adult professionals attending a conference- the house had a large living and dining areas as well as enough private bedrooms for all of us. The location was exceptional and we were able to walk to fantastic restaurants! Would stay again on our next trip to Seattle!

Great Family Geataway

We booked this property with 6 adults and an infant for Thanksgiving Week. It was perfect great location with easy access to public transportation. The dining room table was great for family meals and hanging out. Lots of comfy furniture and big enough we didn't drive each other crazy. You can't go wrong booking here!

Great location in Capital Hill

For a group of friends looking for good value in a great location this is the spot! Clear communication from host. Everyone gets their own bedroom. House is fairly dated, bathrooms could use some handyman fixes and general updating. Upstairs attic is cramped. Overall, if you want a location right near the Cap Hill action this is a good find.

Wedding in Seattle

Location was great. It’s an a older house & a bit quirky & worn for the cost. Although living room/dining room/kitchen were fine, there are only 2 showers (one very tight one off kitchen) for all those beds (10 of us). Top floor bedroom was unusable due to difficult access & it was so hot. Out building rooms/beds were ok in the one but no shower & the other was again, unusable due to the temps without much ventilation. I can see a large group of young adults using this but rough & odd bedroom setup otherwise.

Grand old 3 story house with a lot of room and character

The house and location were great with quick access to downtown and Pikes market There were 12 in total from age 7 to 80 House was old but fairly well maintained, clean, and there was plenty of room. The 17 yo loved the one bedroom out back and my 21 yo Daughter and I took the 2 bedroom garage apt. A little warm during the day but cooled down nicely at night. The third floor of the house sleeps 4 but only the nimble footed should attempt the stairs and is hot even at night. Lots of foot traffic on the street but not too crazy. Good front porch watching. 😊

Great place for group travel.

Traveled with 10 students and two chaperones. Everyone had a place to sleep and we did not feel crowded. The large dining room table was used daily for meals and great talks throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this house. Very conveniently located to major attractions and the conference center.

Great Location & Lots of Room

We were very happy with the booking! The house is well equipped, and approx 40 mins from the airport via the subway. It was also a reasonable walk to Pike Market (40 mins) or a reasonable Uber. Same can be said for the space needle or Climate Pledge Arena. We cooked our own New Years feast, and also ate at some DT restaurants. Grocery stores were also nearby. We hope to be back and would definitely suggest this property!

Our Stay at 223

The home was lovely and the neighborhood was great, easy to get around and lots of options nearby. The manager was responsive. Their were some things that need attention: water temp was difficult to regulate in shower on main floor and seemed like temp was set too high, we used the oven once and it made the drawer below so hot a family member got burned, furnace struggled to keep the house at a comfortable temp, main bedroom door wouldn’t stay closed, all things a handyman could easily fix

Convenient for big group

The property was convenient for a large group of women traveling from different areas. It's close to a rail station from the airport and fairly walkable to the downtown attractions. The house is a bit older so there are some quirks. Limited counter space in the kitchen but there's a nice big dining room table and living room for everyone to gather around. Some bedrooms are difficult to access if you have mobility issues and others are separate from the main house, which is great for a little privacy but lacks some convenience. One shower is a bit tight and the tub/shower was a bit tricky for some of our shorter, older guests to get into and out of, which is just something to be aware of. There was no shortage of hot water, plenty of towels and blankets, we had everything else that we needed and Safeway was only 2 blocks away for groceries. It was easy to communicate with the owner and she responded quickly to one minor maintenance issue. Overall, the location worked for our group and the house was affordable for a long weekend.

Property was central to everything, near multiple transit lines. House a bit run down, had funny smell - we ended up leaving house doors open to air out when we were there since could not open any 1st floor windows. overall met our needs, had plenty of space for our 2 families.

Excellent Seattle House - Great for large groups, great location

We stayed in the house seven nights for a family wedding. We had up to14 people in our group for a couple of days during our stay and the house accommodated our group size well. Excellent location with easy access to Capital Hill, Lite Rail, Space Needle and downtown Seattle. Excellent communications made for an easy process. Would stay again in the future if we are looking for a house in Seattle.
