Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Seattle at its Best - the Premiere Walking Neighborhood!!

Your private apartment is set within a gorgeous, beautifully-appointed 1917 Craftsman Bungalow in the premiere walking district of Seattle - theaters, restaurants, shopping and more shopping, parks and trails for walking and biking; close to bus lines to downtown Seattle, the Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Center and the Sound Transit trains; near the tulip fields and ferries to the San Juan Islands and historic areas north of Seattle; Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are a day-trip; quiet, residential neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Relax on the outside patio for some quiet time, enjoy a short walk to one of the neighborhood theaters or restaurants (sushi, Italian, Japanese, Thai, vegetarian, fusion, pizza, etc., etc.). There's nothing you'll need that you can't find in Wallingford. The apartment is large and gracious with opening garden windows which are visible to the right of the front door in the picture.

Cute place, very clean

My wife & I stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting the area. Although cozy, it had everything we needed for an extended stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Location is great - very close to a huge selection of restaurants.

Conveniently located near the university area and good driving access to the city as well. The unit was very clean and cozy for a small family. I would definitely recommend this place if you like to stay in a quiet neighborhood with parks around

We loved staying here again!

After an absence of 7 years, we returned to visit Seattle. We were thrilled to be able to stay in Garnett’s apartment again. The location is perfect for what we wanted to do and was close to the bus lines. The neighborhood is charming and and fun to walk in. The apartment is very cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything we could possibly need, and we love how it is decorated, Can’t wait for our next trip!

Very comfortable home away from home!

Feels cozy, yet artsy, like living inside a poem. Quiet for a restful sleep. The owners thought of everything I believe. Jessie the cat is a bonus warm fuzzy. Julia’s restaurant down the street was convenient and tasty. Highly recommend.

A Thoroughly Pleasant Experience

Garnett's place was as advertised: a charming bungalow in a walkable neighborhood. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, and bus stops are within 2 blocks of the house. The apartment was well-appointed and had everything we needed. We were able to cook a few meals using the fabulous produce we bought at the weekly Farmer's Market in the neighborhood. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Unexpected treasure

Charming, tasteful, comfortable and well-located in an upscale residential neighborhood. Lovely older home with delightful garden. The village of Wallingford is a quick walk from the house and has dozens of unique restaurants to sample, a very nice grocery store, and easy access to public transportation. The location is convenient to everything in Seattle. We loved our four night stay here - especially relaxing on the garden patio with a glass of wine after a day of sightseeing!

Perfect Location, Beautiful surroundings and comfortable place

We loved this place in a perfect location on a beautiful scenic street. All the necessary amenities for a home away from home. Garnett definitely created a warm and comfortable feeling that made us feel like we were more than guests. Thank you for sharing your place with us. My wife and I loved this special place that is perfectly located from downtown Seattle but close enough to enjoy a small town experience. You'll love this place.

Heaven in Seattle

Beautiful garden with interesting art and sculpture. Great house with eclectic decor. Great mattress and pillow. Slept really well. Easy access to public transportation. Diverse offering of cuisines within a 5 block are on the main drag: Thai, Vegan, Mediterranean, Italian, Indian, Afghan. Garnett has thought of everything; we lacked for nothing. Highly recommend this property.

What a perfect home away from home

I needed an in-city retreat, just a little break from my own home and stresses. I LOVE this spot. I felt like I was staying at a friend's place, but had the privacy and my own kitchen.The apartment is beautifully lit and colored. It's thoughtfully decorated -- love the art and the books next to the bed, which are perfect for reading before sleep. A lovely garden view in both the front and back -- I hope I can return sometime in the spring. The kitchen is well stocked with just about everything you'll need. The shower stall is a little small, but given everything else in the place, it's easy to withstand. So many vacation homes feel cold and soulless. Garnett's place is the exact opposite.
