We loved having a fireplace on the chilly nights, home was very clean and well stocked. We were able to walk to restaurants and found parking on the street easily. Very stylish decor.
The space was exactly where we wanted to be just outside downtown Seattle, walking distance to groceries, cafes and bars. Plenty of street parking for a low stress experience. We enjoyed many an hour reading by the fireplace and cooking our own meals. Laundry in the basement is always a lifesaver for packing.
Such a cute property in a lovely neighborhood. The setup was perfect for our family of 4. Super easy check in/out process. It had everything we needed for our stay. Looking forward to our next visit.
The house was comfortable and had plenty of space, the neighborhood was convenient and quiet, and parking on the street was easy. The colorful interior was pleasant and the kitchen had everything we could need for cooking and preparing meals. We had a great stay.
It's so well decorated, gorgeous little garden outside. Bedrooms are spare but beds are comfortable and the temperature can be adjusted with air conditioning units in the windows. Basement bedroom is very unfinished, but fine for a teen.
My cousin and I stayed here with our two little ones for a long weekend. House was perfect for the four of us. Kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable.
My best friends and I stayed at the Boutique Chic Garden Retreat for my 30th Birthday! We decorated it to the theme of “Love Island” and had a great night filled with good food and games! Alycia was a great host with amazing communication! I would most definitely stay here again, it was a very unique place with unforgettable memories I’ll share for a lifetime with my friends!
The photos don’t do this home justice! We walked in and felt a wave of magic and colorful inspiration!! The table fit all six of us and we had a lovely dinner and it made for even better photos. Highly reccomend, the host was super accommodating and has great communication. Thank you!
Property was super cute and very clean. Plenty of extra towels and blankets. Loved being able to park our truck in a safe feeling neighborhood, while we ubered into downtown. The only thing my husband would have liked was a bigger shower as he is over 6 feet tall:) haha
Cute house, small but charming side yard. Clean and Alysia as super responsive. Beds were pretty soft but plenty of towels and decent sheets. 3rd bedroom was in basement and we were glad we ended up not needing it. Pretty dark down there but you would probably get a peaceful sleep.
Had my sister's bachelorette in Seattle and this was perfectly her style so it was a nice quite spot for us to gather. Think of getting box fans because they are bulky to travel with and I love the white noise to sleep.
