Alright / Annoying
Not aware if the owners live above or if the top is also short term rentals. Every night the people above would be constantly stomping around, and or playing music, or talking very loudly. Could hear everything which kept us up every night till about 2-3am. Cleanliness was bare minimum. Can fit 4 people, if you bring a 5th your bed is a couch, small and not pull out. Circuits would constantly pop which would result in you having to reset the breaker. Shower would get filled/ clogged. Toilet was disgusting. Will not be staying here again

The place was clean, nice, and in a quiet neighborhood. Close enough to get to appointments and sightseeing, but peaceful after a long day. It was nice. Will be trying to book for future stays in Seattle!

Mother and Son vacation
Son and I came from Central Oregon to see a comedy show and attend the Seahawks Bills NFL game.
Our stay was wonderful. Had everything we needed. Upstairs neighbor was so nice and helpful. Neighbors were kind and quiet. Julia is the best owner ever. Highly recommend this home and will stay again if the need arises!

Family Visit
First trip to Washington to visit family for 5 days. We weren't sure what to expect, but really enjoyed our trip and stay. When we weren't being driven by family for different experiences, we enjoyed the daily walks to Greenlake, local restaurants and coffee shops. There were also two markets nearby for grocery needs. We would stay again and recommend it to others.

Sept 4th-7th Review
The property is well kept, but communication was a bit lacking. There were not check-out procedures provided, so we did the basics cleaning wise.
The property matched the description perfectly. It was extremely dog friendly. They had toys, treats, dishes, and even a pet bed. The neighborhood was excellent for walking our dog.
I use a wheelchair for some mobility issues and easily fit through the doorways. That was a nice surprise!
Our only negative was that the larger bedroom is fairly noisy from the upstairs tenants. Human movement and running water were an issue for me. I found a white noise device and used it with some success on the second night. The front bedroom was quieter for our guest.
Overall, it was very welcoming and we would certainly use it again. Thank you.

Pros & Cons
Pros: A great location with lots of amenities. Two generous bedrooms, well stocked kitchen, and washer and dryer. Outdoor furniture to enjoy nice weather.
Cons: Not as clean as I would have liked. I made the mistake of lifting a couch cushion and found crumbs and debris. Cobwebs had formed in the corner of the ceiling.
Also, this is a downstairs conversion with an occupant above. I could hear every footstep above me. This went on until around 1am my first night there. If you are an extremely sound sleeper or a real night owl, this may not be an issue for you.
