State Street Cottage, 2BR Apartment

This spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment will be your home-away-from-home while you visit the Palouse. 5-10 min walk to downtown Pullman. One mile from WSU campus. City bus stops on our block.

**We do NOT charge a cleaning fee and no check-out chores**

We warmly welcome guests of all races, religions, orientations, and nationalities.

This apartment is the main floor of a house that has a smaller apartment in the basement. The entire main floor is yours—about 1200 square feet, which includes a spacious entryway, a large living room and dining room, a cute vintage kitchen (with everything you need to cook your own meals if you prefer to bring groceries rather than eat out), two bedrooms with queen beds, and a remodeled bathroom. The pull-out sofa in the living room has a queen-sized memory foam mattress. The house has lots of charm—coved ceilings, arched doorways, a beautiful picture window, and more.

This apartment and the downstairs apartments have completely separate entrances on separate sides of the house, and you likely won't ever see the guests downstairs.

**IMPORTANT: We do ask that guests try to keep noise levels down on the main floor, as sound carries between the floors fairly easily (especially from upstairs to downstairs—you likely won't hear the downstairs guests much at all). Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am. If you have loud, rambunctious kids, or if you like to jump around or throw dance parties, this probably isn't the best space for you.**

You'll enter the driveway between the brown and white fences. There is a concrete parking pad at the end of the driveway that has space for two cars for this apartment (not shared with the other apartment—you'll have the two spaces for yourselves).

There is no parking on State Street. If you have more than two cars or a guest wants to visit you at the apartment, they can park on Harrison Street at the intersection just north of the house.

We live right next door and share a driveway with apartment, so we're around if you need us. We've traveled a lot and have stayed in a ton of short-term rentals, and we strive to combine all the best of our favorite places to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We will be as available as you want us to be—we're always happy to answer questions about the area or help in any way we can, but we also respect guests' privacy and will leave you to enjoy your visit until you need us. Feel free to text us or call if there's anything you want or need during your stay.

The house is a short walk to downtown—easy to walk to restaurants or coffee shops on a nice day—and not a bad walk to the WSU campus (less than a mile to the edge of campus and 1.4 miles to Martin Stadium).

Like all of Pullman, you will have to walk uphill one way, no matter where you go. (They don't call them "Cougar calves" for nothing. :)) Our neighborhood is residential—lots of old houses. State Street is not a super busy street, but also not a sleepy side street. We're close enough to Grand Avenue that you can hear traffic if you have the bedroom windows open, but we've never found it intrusive. (We lived upstairs for 5 years.) Pullman in general is a very safe place, and we feel comfortable walking around any time of day or night.
The driveway is a bit long and we have kids, so please take it slow. Feel free to use our gravel space in front of our garage to back in or out of the parking pad. (It's easier to turn around than it is to back all the way out of the driveway.)

We have a bus stop right in front of the house. The Pullman city bus is cheap and easy to use. On football game weekends, the stops and schedule are a bit different—I believe the game bus route stops a couple of blocks up from us. When we go to games, we just walk. It takes a lot less time than trying to drive and park or take the bus. We've never had any issues walking home late at night after a game.

We can help you with walking routes anywhere in town. If you want groceries, we usually shop at Safeway or Wal-Mart, which are on the other side of town. There is a Rosauer's about a half-mile away.
