The house was wonderful, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, convenient location. The host was great and very communicative throughout our stay. Parking is a little tight if both spots are in use.

Stay was exactly what we were expecting. Listing is accurate. Rooms/beds were comfortable. Neighborhood and upstairs renters were quiet. Having a designated parking spot was great. Washer/dryer was good to have as well. Host was easy to reach if needed. Nightly rate was good compared to similar listings. Would stay there again.

We had an excellent stay with the City Haven III stayed for 4 days to support youngest daughter during spring training/regatta at SPU. Teresa, host/owner, was attentive to our timing and offered earlier check-in, as the unit was clean and available. She checked in the next day to make sure all was well and if we had any needs. Everything was wonderful clean and fresh, generous amenities and the linens were NOT synthetic nor heavily fragranced. This is a huge bonus for my sensitivities ! While the ceilings (basement apt.) are little lower than normal, my son, 6'3" managed just fine beyond being mindful of the doorways. Beyond the ceiling difference, it was bright and welcoming with plenty of windows; each had blinds to manage privacy and daylight. Finding this coven of comfort in a accessible area of Seattle was a blessing and we will be back! Thank you !

City Haven III was exactly as described. We arrived to a clean, warm, welcoming apartment, complete with a hand-written welcome sign. The home was quiet and well-equipped with everything we needed and was a relaxing place to land at the end of a long day of travel. It should be noted that the ceilings are VERY low in this home, and if you are 6 feet or taller, this apartment is not the one for you! But for us average height folks, it was lovely!
