Getaway to a quiet neighborhood house (MIL suite) with garden & creek view

Would you like to sleep with the lullaby of the babbling creek while enjoying a short - 13 mile - drive to the downtown Seattle? Then this is the place you would like to stay! This is a cozy, welcoming MIL suite with a separate entry and renovated bathroom, new floor, new windows, and newly installed separate heaters. Easy access to I-5 (5 min) and Lake Washington & Burke Gilman Trail within a walking distance. There's a bus stop right in front of the house, too.

Great Stay

Space is very easy to get to with great parking. Clean and well equipped. The “babbling brook” sounds from the window in the living room were very pleasant. Great coffee! Would recommend for a couple or single person.

Convenient for our purpose

In town for my niece's graduation. Just needed a place to sleep as we were spending most every waking moment with family. Conveniently located, easy check in and out process. Place was cute and comfy if we were to spend more time in it.

The host was really responsive with any questions that we had. The place was decent, but didn’t feel very clean. The mini fridge had a pool of water underneath it upon arrival, and while cleaning it up we found a giant spider on the counter. We figured it was just the one, and went about our vacation. In total, we had to kill 5 LARGE spiders. I think this place would be fine if you were staying for a night, maybe two. It has a really pretty view, but unfortunately the room with the nice view is where we kept finding spiders. It could be really nice if it was updated a bit more, and cracks were filled in to avoid bugs everywhere.

A Great Cozy Place To Stay

Such a charming place!!! It was so clean, and felt like a home away from home. We will definitely put it as a place to come back to, when we visit family in the area again.

The place was fine for our one night stay. I would not want to stay there for a longer period of time. There were three of us. The futon was very uncomfortable. We were unable to watch TV because the cable box was removed. The place was clean and simplistically decorated. The grounds were lovely and it was quiet. We did not have much contact with the host. I said hello and goodbye. Laurie spoke with him a while longer because he had chickens and she has chickens.

Andrew is friendly and responsive. The apartment is conveniently located near Lake Washington, the Link train, Edmunds Beach, and the Kingston Ferry. The apartment is equipped with everything one would need and is clean & tidy. We will definitely stay there again when we visit family next year.

It was a comfortable stay! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The bus stop it right in front. Just a note: dont use more than one appliance at a time or the power will go out. Other than that, it was cozt.

Not as described. We were told in the booking that there would be a fridge and stove top, it was a mini fridge and hotplate. One of the beds is falling apart. The host and his family were not only up and loud in until 11 pm most of the time they also had a party during our stay! Internet didn't work half the time. If you're allergic to cats stay away, also not in the description of the house. Host also messaged at midnight to apologize for the cat meowing. If you stay bring your own towels. We were offered a towel a piece for the week we stayed. Do not recommend for more than a night or if ever.

The unit was very cute and comfortable, in an adorable area. Parking was also very easy and convenient. It was a bit loud at times and we were unable to use the tv because because it kept glitching and then the power would go out (2-3 times). We ended up watching on a laptop with hotspot. We had a lovely stay and would book here again. It was also close to a very cute coffee truck in an Airstream, highly recommend.
