About this house rental

Welcome to The Autobahn! This beautifully remodeled home has modern amenities, a quiet location, and proximity to all Seattle has to offer. The bright open floor plan makes relaxing indoors comfortable or enjoy some fresh air outdoors on the deck or grass yard.

KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM
The entry level features the main living area with gleaming hardwood floors. This open concept space has a recently remodeled kitchen with gas stove and stainless steel appliances. There is a small breakfast nook to seat 3 as well as a bar top with 3 stools. The living room is compact; the dining table accommodates another 4, so please do note that larger groups will be spread over the breakfast nook, counter, and table. There is also a very comfortable full size sleeper sofa, DVD, and cable TV. Each of our homes has been decorated with a playful theme, making it more engaging than your typical rental home or hotel. This home pays homage to the world of autos.

BEDROOMS
Bedroom: The main floor bedroom has a king bed and is equipped with a window air conditioner.
Bedrooms 2 & 3: Downstairs is a daylight basement level with two bedrooms. One bedroom has two bunk beds, each twin over full sized, while the other bedroom has a queen bed.

BATHROOMS
Bathroom 1: Full size recently renovated bathroom on the main floor.
Bathroom 2: The downstairs bathroom features a shower only and also holds the washer/dryer.

AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning is a real rarity in Seattle. This home does not have central A/C, but does have a small window unit air conditioner in the living room and the master bedroom.

OUTDOOR SPACE
The greatest feature of this home is its outdoor space. The back of the home has a wood deck with barbecue, and a table large enough for everyone to enjoy al fresco dining. Connected to this is a grass yard that runs along the side of the home.

PARKING
Street parking is free and plentiful.

GUEST ACCESS
Access to the home is provided without a cumbersome lock box or key exchange. Instead, you will choose a 4 digit code, and the electronic lock to the home will be programmed work your code for the duration of your stay.
You will have access to the entire home, including a fenced in yard and back deck with barbecue. Note that there is plentiful free street parking right outside your front door. There is never a challenge to get multiple spots without straying far at all.

YOUR HOSTS
Your hosts, Andy and Lynne, live right down the block. We are here to welcome you and help you with any of your needs during your stay. We are happy to offer you advice for sightseeing, restaurant recommendations, and even some budget saving tips. Guests will receive, in advance, our comprehensive homemade visitors' guide to Seattle, packed with our personal recommendations for dining, activities, and much more. Plan to cook during your stay? By special advanced arrangement (subject to availability), we will fulfill your grocery list and have your home stocked for your arrival.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
This 3 bedroom home is central to everything Madison Valley has to offer: great restaurants, parks, hiking, supermarkets, day spas, and more.
Your hosts made Madison Valley their home when first settling in Seattle ... and haven't looked back since. We love walking the streets of this neighborhood, and we will gladly suggest fun walks depending on your interests. Stroll to the beach at Madison Park. Walk by multi-million dollar estates. Discover hidden neighborhood gems such as the farmhouse with horses in the yard and the home that doubles as an eclectic art studio and antique truck gallery. Take a walk through the fabled Arboretum to Lake Washington.

Enjoy the countless restaurants that Madison Valley ("Little Paris") has to offer. In addition to French gems, try our favorite tapas restaurant or the best Japanese food east of Tokyo. Grab a morning coffee in one of the numerous bakeries.

Our home provides easy access to Downtown (Pikes Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Great Wheel), Seattle Center (Space Needle, Chihuly Glass Museum), South Lake Union (MOHAI), University of Washington, and Capitol Hill. All are accessible by car, bus (numerous bus lines a few blocks from home), or for the adventurous, by foot.

GETTING AROUND
We live a few short blocks from bus lines that will take you to Seattle's numerous neighborhoods (Madison Park, Capitol Hill, Downtown, Belltown, Seattle Center, South Lake Union). Queen Anne, Ballard, and Fremont are more easily accessed by car.

The outside of the property has seen better days, and the neighborhood was so-so. The inside had a weariness to it that is typical of a short term rental, but it was mostly clean (please wash windows) and had a modern kitchen and bathrooms (the basement bathroom used a utility sink, as it shared space with the washer and dryer). The basement bedroom and bath was a bit musty. The property slept 10, but had only one 3 cushion couch in the living room and no easy chairs. Overall, it was satisfactory and served the purposes of our small family.

We spent 5 days in the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle. The location is a few minutes from the popular Capital Hill neighborhood with lots of good food/activities, and close to downtown Seattle as well. This is a great launching spot to explore the city and surrounding area. Overall the house was what we expected. There are plenty of beds for the family to spread out. The main living area is not huge if you have a big party. We did have some requests while we were there and the owners/property management company were quick to help.

The house was clean, fairly convenient to drive to attractions, beds were comfortable and house was good for 4 people. We were disappointed in two things though. First it was VERY hot the week we were there in August and the house had one small window unit air conditioner which did not cool the entire house. We also had booked this hoping to use the backyard space which was advertised as "Great Outdoor Space". The space definitely needs some work as the paint on the deck is peeling everywhere, the wood table outside was growing mold and the chairs were way to low to be able to enjoy using it to visit or eat at. The house could also use another living room chair or small couch as one or two of us always ended up at the dining room table. The communication from the owners was excellent though and very helpful. Overall a good stay.

The Autobahn house was a cute little duplex that had plenty of beds and a nice outdoor backyard area. The listing did not say there was a shared wall or that it was a duplex, so I was a little surprised when I saw a person leave from the door next to us. Some of the furniture are moved around based on the photos listed like there were only 2 bar stools. The living room also has a window AC, which was a nice addition, but not pictured. The dresser is on a different wall in the master. So, the pictures are a tad/slightly outdated than listed. A big issue was the house Wi-Fi was not properly working. Lynne was able to provide us a back up Wi-Fi a couple of hours later that same day, however our friend was not able to work-from-home that morning due to no internet. Aside from that, Lynne was very communicative throughout the trip. A few moments of delayed response, but eventually communicated. The room with the bunk beds did notice some insects inside possibly coming in from the window, which did not have a screen, so we had to keep an eye out for that as one of my guests found one in her bed. This is a much older house, so with every step upstairs or staircase results in a squeak, creek, or crack sound. You will hear every step if you are downstairs. Parking was spacious as the entire area was nothing but street parking and ample amount of space. Overall, we were there to visit and see the city so the Autobahn house provided us a good place to rest and clean up. If I could rate if half stars, I would rate it at 3.5/5 as it provided us what we needed and requires a few updates to the listing and issues resolved, so the other future renters don't experience the same.
