This 2 BR, 1 BA apartment is so clean and very well appointed. The location feels surprisingly secluded. Host is great at communicating! We enjoyed our short stay!
This place is amazing. Super clean in a very peaceful setting but close to restaurants and shops. Ron has thought of everything to make for a very comfortable stay. Highly recommend and we will be back!
The house has everything you need, all in perfect shape, with terrace and nice views, very good location and very kind host, Ron. We really enjoyed the week we spent there. We hearthly recommend it.
Our 2nd stay at Ron’s place did not disappoint. The unit is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and in such a great location. We loved the view and close proximity to the Burke Gillan trail. Ron is a very gracious host and we hope to be able to stay again when we next return to Seattle.
Great experience in our week long stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. The place had all the attention to detail and little amenities that made the experience wonderful for me and my family!
Peaceful, quiet, luxury is what you will find at this stay. Ron has thoughtfully provided for every possible need that a traveler might need. I can't wait to return.
The house was very clean and well organized. Our host Ron was kind and explained everything to us about how things worked in the home. Great location for us to see our family and we would definitely stay there another time!
We couldnt have asked for a better experience. They were extremely friendly and helpful, the apartment was clean and cozy, and the neighborhood was beautiful and quiet.
Ron was an excellent host, great communication. The property was very clean and well appointed. Great beds, Kitchen had all needed items. The host even provided bottled water and pop. Highly recommend !
This home is heavenly. Perfect size, newly remodeled. The owner/ Host was amazing.
Walkable cafe & Metropolitan Market, the best grocery store - is right down the road.
I was born & raised in Seattle, currently in SoCal ( for 27 yrs) if I were to move back- this would be the area. I absolutely love it.
Well fitted. Clean. The host lives upstairs and gives a nice tour of the appartment when you arrive showing you how things work. Great location. Off street parking. Use of shared garden if you book in advance. Lovely.
We enjoyed our stay because of the wonderful location and because of the extra bit of hospitality shown to us. We met the owner upon arrival and were given instructions about all of the appliances and tv. Also, we immediately noticed some of the generous touches, like welcoming chocolates and bottled water. The location is fantastic as it backs up to a great trail which is accessible down the street. We walked home from UW and to a local brewery. If you appreciate renovation details like high end tile and solid core doors like I do, then you will find those in the lovely apartment. One of the best VRBOs!
We have stayed at Ron’s before and loved it. This is a new apartment in the same building. Everything is great. Two cautions for older viewers: the apartment door is fifteen steps down from the street level and the shower is in a deep tub. We had no problem with either (ron installed a shower grab bar) but better one should know. Ten day stay was relaxing and comfortable. We will be back.
Ron was hands down the finest host I’ve ever had at a rental property. He was on-site the entire time, which certainly helped with the experience, but he was very attentive from reservation through departure. He met me on site, walked me through the entire property, showed how everything worked, and was very pleasant. I saw him a few more times randomly and was always professional and communicative. The property was immaculate, very well designed and decorated and felt much larger than the square footage. The porch was a delight, beds comfortable, bathroom immaculate, kitchen operated perfectly. Close to UW -but not too close - and adjacent to the Burke Gilman Trail for runners, bikers, or walkers: a terrific amenity.
I definitely recommend this property and Ron and given the opportunity I’d stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo! Our host was incredibly friendly and a pleasure to chat with. He gave us a thorough tour of the suite upon arrival and shared helpful tips about nearby grocery stores and convenient park-and-ride options for taking the train into the city.The suite was spotless and felt like new. It was fully stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows, as well as thoughtful extras like coffee pods, tea, spices, sugar, and even pantry staples like soup.The bathroom was equipped with everything we needed—hair dryer, toothpaste, floss, Q-tips, band-aids, and high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.There were lots of little extras that made our stay even more comfortable: a Google Home speaker, reusable cloth shopping bags, a great selection of tourist books, maps, and magazines, and a laundry area with easy-to-use machines, detergent pods, a drying line, and an iron.We also really enjoyed the peaceful view of the backyard, the lovely balcony space, and the wide variety of TV channels available in all the bedrooms.Overall, it was a clean, welcoming, and well-equipped space, and our host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended!
We were the 2nd family to stay at Ron’s. The home was well stocked with everything we needed even extra toiletries/hygiene supplies. It was supplied with all the cleaning supplies we needed. Extra towels, blankets, pillows and sheets.
When we got there Ron was ready to hand us the keys (so it’s not contactless), he gave us a quick tour of the home to show us how to use the deep shower/bath, the washing machine, dishwasher, etc.
the tv has a great sound system with surround sound, we had to turn it off cuz we didn’t want to hear bluey in surround sound… LOL.
The home is very modern with new appliances & furniture. The view from the balcony is beautiful. It’s on the second floor so be prepared to go down several steps to get in/out. We didn’t use the backyard at all.
When we left Ron asked if there was anything he could do for the next guests, I only mentioned having instructions for the A/C cuz it got hotter at night, and we’d open the windows and the cool evening breeze was enough for our stay. Ron lives upstairs
Google map said it’s 20 minute drive to downtown Seattle, but with daily traffic took us at least 30 min to get to where we wanted. My grand daughter had a concert at climate pledge and instead of 32 min, it took us 1hr and 15 min to get there. Just be prepared for traffic from this location.
My grandson (3 yrs old) loved the toys in the media cabinet. Plus there were family friendly games & puzzles.
We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.
Lovely place with friendly hosts and everything we could have needed for a wonderful stay. Home is well appointed, clean and a convenient location for navigating around town. Would definitely stay again when visiting.
We had a fantastic stay. Very clean and had everything we could possible want-room to hang out as a family, excellent amenities, and a beautiful and quiet neighborhood very close to UW where we were visiting our daughter. Ron was a great host and very responsive to any questions we had.
We loved our stay and were sad to leave. Everything was perfect: clean, cozy, quiet and thoughtfully prepared. The owner truly thought of everything. This was one of our best stays at any property and we would definitely stay again.
Ron was an amazing host!! The property was beautiful and well kept. He explained very clearly how to operate everything in the apartment. My family was very comfortable staying there. We hope to stay there again soon. Thank you Ron for having us!!!
VRBO is immaculate with many extra luxeries. Easy check in on line and kitchen has all the amenities. Large window views of trees, birds and Burke Gilman Trail!
