wonderful

We had a group of us going to watch our daughter graduate from UW and the property worked out well for that. It is a good location convenient to most anywhere in Seattle or the northern part of the Eastside (Bothell, Woodinville, etc.). The neighborhood is nice with walkable access (although steep) to the Burke Gilman Trail and Lake Washington. The one thing that I would mention (and this is more on my reading the property description more closely), is the property sleeps 8 but only has 4 beds, so really only sleeps 8 if all of them can share beds. We had a different configuration and needed to have a couple people sleep on the couches/air mattress. Again, nothing about the property or the listing but just something to note on your party size. Overall clean and well appointed. Check in was smooth and the owners/support people were very responsive to issues. Would stay again if we ever need to bring a group back to Seattle. Also the BBQ grill is charcoal and there were briquets...but having grilled on gas for quite awhile I had to remember some little used skills!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. A word of caution especially at night is that there is an exposed stairwell to the lower floor in the hallway next to the bathroom, and someone looking for the bathroom in the middle of the night could easily take a wrong turn and fall down the stairs. We propped a broom in the doorway as a reminder and also kept a light on to keep people safe.

Our host Joanne was so kind and helpful through everything. The kitchen had everything you need to cook, although we did need a strainer but besides that. I loved how she had a piano downstairs and everything about the house was huge. The cleanliness and it really felt homey :))

The home layout is perfect for extended families, with living space, bedrooms and bathrooms spread out over two levels. The location is great for freeway access, as well as shops and restaurants nearby.

Let me start by saying the property manager earned an A+ grade. She was very responsive and worked with us to get a handyman to the house and issued a partial refund. That was very much appreciated. The issue was a clogged sewer line that appeared when the downstairs toilet was flushed the very first time and it backed up into the downstairs tub when using the plunger. Yeah, yuck! When the handyman couldn’t fix it, we were forced us to make other arrangements for one of our family members and gently use the upstairs bathroom from that point on. This is clearly a problem that shouldn’t be repeated for future guests, once the sewer line is cleared by a professional plumber.

We had a wonderful stay here. The house is really spacious and the yard is huge. Plenty of parking and conveniently located if you needed to run to a store for something. I really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, it had everything we needed. Joanne was a great host and we would stay here again!

Great house, great location. We went for walks every morning.
