Super cute & perfect location

I booked this for my parents to stay while visiting us in seattle. It is not only super cute but also a wonderful location. The hosts are also very helpful and kind. We ended up having several visits to the hospital unexpectedly and the home a perfect spot for them to relax and recover. Can’t say enough great things about it and would highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed this peaceful retreat. The guesthouse is in a safe and quiet but walkable neighborhood, tucked back from the street and in a lovely garden setting. Inside, it’s beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed including an electric teakettle—something we use at home and usually miss when we are away from home. There is even a washer and dryer—very nice to have. And the cottage is full of thoughtful moments, from labels light switches to the artwork to the charming little book that describes neighborhood walks, restaurants, and more. One of our best travel accommodations anywhere, and we will likely be back next time we visit our family in Seattle.

Enjoyable stay!

Yeon and Javier were amazing hosts! They greeted us upon arrival and checked in to make sure we were all set. The adorable cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The local wine and Theo chocolate was a thoughtful host gift. We enjoyed the courtyard and lovely gardens and the area was walkable to several parks/beaches/restaurants and on street parking was easy. We'll be back for sure!

Exceptional Seattle stay

A really wonderful quiet getaway from the city. Gracious host who communicated very well and made checking in and checking out a breeze. A well appointed cottage very close to Ballard and walking distance to the waterfront. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a little slice of Seattle.

Magical Stay in Seattle

The Sunset cottage location was perfect for me. Just a short walk from Sunset Hill Park. I walked to the park every morning and evening. It was a very quiet neighborhood. The area was so beautiful with flowering trees and bushes. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. I felt genuinely welcomed. I found excellent bus connections to Ballard, downtown and Northgate--all the same bus. I'm planning on making it a yearly visit.

Clean, Cute, Comfortable and Convenient

What a great place! We enjoyed staying in this nice-sized VRBO with a separate living area, large kitchen, and good-sized bedroom. It is clean, cute, comfortable, and convenient. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and Larsen's Bakery (one of our go-to Seattle spots). The owners were responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!
