Teressa is very responsive. The house is nice and clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I just wish I had figured out how to use Netflix on the TV—it gave me a bit of trouble—but overall it was a well-organized and pleasant stay.

Property was just as described. An oasis from the bustle of the city center. Squeaky clean. Flow from kitchen to living room was ideal. Large dining table too, if you decide to eat in.Altogether a lovely stay.

Fantastic location

Teresa’s place was perfect for our time in Seattle! Walking distance to the zoo and easy to get downtown. She made sure we had everything we needed. The place was very clean and the comfiest beds of any VRBO we’ve stayed at! We highly recommend staying at Teresa’s place the next time you’re in Seattle!
