Ideal Freemont Spot
We flew in from Calgary for a concert, a hockey game and a football game! The unit is in the perfect spot for getting pretty much everywhere. The unit was as described and the pictures were accurate. Ballard area is close (we went to the Sunday Market), grocery stores are close enough to walk, downtown is a 10 minute bus ride. Highly recommend!!

Great place
The 2 bedroom home makes efficient use of its space. Nice layout. Very clean. The home had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch - we went out for dinners. The bus to Ballard and many great restaurants was right in front of the house. The bus to downtown Seattle was just a block away. We stayed for 3 nights and was perfect stay.

Incredible spot!
This place is adorable. You can tell that Teresa and her husband want to give you an experience beyond just a place to sleep. They’ve created a comfortable home away from home. They were quick and communicative and just all around so incredibly friendly. Thank you for being a part of our Seattle memories!

Convenient location, simple and clean
Check in process was easy and host was very responsive. It was a cute and simple place to stay while we explored Seattle. Two important notes: the ceilings are low in the unit as it’s a basement unit. My 6’3 husband had to duck under doorways and had just a couple of inches of headspace from the ceiling in general. So, probably not well suited for tall folks! And the unit above also gets rented out, so if you’re a light sleeper it may be tough for you (wasn’t particularly a problem for us with a reminder from the host on quiet hours). The value and location were great though!

Weekend getaway
This was our second time staying at this B Vrbo and it was just as lovely as the first time. It is in close proximity to public transit and a lot of local places to walk to. As someone who frequents Seattle often, I will always be looking to see if this place is available. Also, Teresa is an AMAZING host who is kind and highly communicative.

Super comfortable and roomy, centrally-located apartment
This apartment is a very comfortable space with two roomy bedrooms. Altho a "basement", it is full of light and you dont' feel like you are underground. The kitchen is well-stocked, beds are very comfy, bathroom is good and there's lots of seating in the living area. The location is perfect in that you can walk to many restaurants and coffee shops or access highways into Seattle -- all essential for crowded Seattle!

An Amazing and Warm Place
The property was very inviting and warm. Communication before and after check-in was great. Getting into the unit was easy. Initially I had trouble finding the unit, but that was my fault as I did not read the instructions in the app carefully which were very detailed. The unit was warm and attractive. The kitchen was a good size for the unit. The living room was comfortable with a nice sized flat screen with cable service. There was a channel that was not available but the flat screen had the ability to cast video from my iPhone using AirPlay. The 2 rooms were large. What was really appreciated was the queen sized bed with comfortable mattresses and bedding. As we don't spend that much time in the room coming back to sleep soundly is the most important aspect of any stay for me. And I slept very well. You were able to control the temperature separately in each room. The bathroom was well appointed with thick towels and soap/shampoo/conditioner. Initially, we thought the lighting in the bathroom was very dark until we discover there was a slider on the light switch then brightness. The lighting in the unit was very good and cheerful. Overall, the experience was wonderful. I would definitely stay here again when in Seattle. Again, it was warm, cozy, and inviting. Not far from UofW and close to downtown Seattle. I would highly recommend stay here when visiting Seattle.

Wonderful location
Many local shops, parks, and restaurants near by. Bus transit was easy to figure out. The home itself was very cozy, clean, and spacious. It was cuter than the photos. The only thing was the upstairs neighbors could be loud, but by the end of the day, we were too tired to care. Overall, will definitely stay there again!

Perfect location
This place was perfect. We were able to park our car in the provided spot and walk to almost all of our activities. Walking distance to the zoo, Fremont, the troll, and food. We had a 3 year old with us and it was doable for him too! The place was very clean, a comfortable layout, kid friendly, and the owner was friendly and checked on us multiple times via text. I would definitely stay here again.

What a great stay! Pro’s were it was super clean, great location, easy access to public transportation or walking, safe and mostly quiet. Con’s when people are upstairs it can be loud especially if they’re night owls and are stomp walkers. Otherwise, just a perfect spot for what we needed this trip!

Perfect Cozy Apartment!
We loved this place! Spent rainy summer weekend for a wedding with 4 of us here. It is a beautifully remodeled basement apartment so even though it is on a busy street, the apartment was very quiet. Literally steps away are two major transit lines, so you can bus to the breweries in Ballard, or hop a bus to downtown if you don't want to hassle with parking. You are also a 10 minute walk away from one of the best breakfast places in Seattle, and a really good grocery store. Highly recommend!!

We were in Seattle to attend a wedding. The apartment was perfect. Enough room for my daughter, husband and I. Loved bus stop close by to visit downtown. Plenty of restaurants and coffee shops close by as well within walking distance. Also enjoyed chairs on patio for reading. We are continuing our travels with a west coast road trip so nice to be able to do laundry before leaving. Thanks again!

Perfect!!!
The basement apartment was super clean and had everything I needed and more. Teresa was very communicative throughout the process. The apartment is literally steps away from the "E" line, which takes a tourist to the major attractions in downtown Seattle. It was fun to stay in a residential area, and I would definitely come back to this location.
