About this property

One-bedroom House and Patio all to yourself in a Great Location

Back on VRBO after a couple of years off, we are delighted to welcome guests again at the Phinney Ridge Bungalow.

This fully renovated, charming one-bedroom bungalow is in a quiet, residential neighborhood. You'll have the whole house and large patio all to yourself. The convenient location puts you close to downtown and many of Seattle's great neighborhoods.

Whether in Seattle for pleasure or for business, we hope you will enjoy your stay on Phinney Ridge. The central location is ideal for exploring all that Seattle has to offer. Depending upon which direction you walk, drive, bus or take a ride-share service, you will find tourist destinations, business centers, restaurants of all styles, lovely parks, grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries and a wide variety of shopping nearby in the Phinney Ridge, Greenwood, Wallingford, Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods. Travelers can easily reach the business centers of South Lake Union and Downtown.

There is plenty of on-street parking right out front and several bus stops within blocks. Bus route 5 runs north/south, route 44 runs east/west. Downtown, Seattle Center, South Lake Union and the University District are all just 10 minutes away by car.

The house features hardwood floors, lots of light, new kitchen and bathroom, and lovely furnishings. The large flagstone patio and garden out front has a table for four and a couple of adirondack chairs. It is perfect for morning coffee, meals or lounging. A lovely home away from home while you are in Seattle.

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed. It also features a large closet with a built-in dresser and full-length mirrors on the doors. The high quality sleeper sofa (no hide-a-bed bars here) in the living room pulls out to a comfy queen-sized bed. There is a selection of extra pillows and bedding so that you can find just the right combination for a good night's rest. Blackout shades throughout the house provide plenty of excuses for sleeping in whether you are in the bedroom or on the sleeper sofa. All sheets are high thread count and 100% cotton.

The fully-equipped kitchen with dining nook has stainless steel appliances, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, hand mixer as well as all the dishes, pots, pans and utensils you will need. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are provided.

The bathroom includes a new shower with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, as well as hand soap, lotion, hair dryer and plenty of plush towels. Terrycloth robes are also provided.

Fast fiber-optic WiFi will keep you connected. Basic cable and Netflix are provided. Any subscription services that you have can be streamed on the high-definition 40” TV.

There is washer and dryer, ironing board and iron on-site. We provide laundry soap, stain remover and dryer sheets.

This home also has a contactless check-in procedure that will be emailed to you the week of your arrival.

Once here, you can explore. Phinney Ridge and Greenwood have the Woodland Park Zoo (only three blocks away), wonderful restaurants, specialty stores and parks within walking distance. Ballard, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Seattle with shopping and some of the city’s finest restaurants, is just down the hill. From there, visit the Ballard Locks to watch the salmon jump up the fish ladders. Keep going and you will find Golden Gardens, one of the most popular beaches in town. Fremont is even closer with lots of shops and restaurants and its famous Bridge Troll. Green Lake, which features a beautiful 2.8 mile running/walking path, boat rentals and a community center, is a short drive or a long walk through the lovely Woodland Park. Wallingford is 1 mile away and you will only be 2 miles from the University District. Downtown, Seattle Center and South Lake Union are all a short car or bus ride away.

Your hosts live nearby and will respect your privacy, but they’re also just a text or phone call away should you have any questions or need anything.

We were very pleased with this house! Alexa provided many quality amenities, all of very good quality, and some personal extra touches that were special such as a hand-written welcome card and fresh-baked cookies! The neighborhood was very quiet with many fun restaurants and bars within walking distance. If we are ever in Seattle again, we would choose to stay here.

Perfect!

Alexa is the best hostess. We needed a few extra days at the beginning of our trip and she was able to accommodate us with no issues. This house is beautiful, all brand new, and is close to everything. This house has everything you need. Just bring your suitcase. Clean and very comfortable. The bed is very comfortable and our son said the pull out couch was comfortable. Thank you Alexa. Hope to stay again soon.

Great Monthly Rental!

This house is so cute; small, but just perfect for my husband and me for an entire month. It’s a wonderful place for two people. We arrived to find homemade cookies and a homey, clean home waiting for us. The renovations of this house are very impressive. It’s tasteful and welcoming. Alexa was available if needed, but we didn’t need a thing during our month long stay. The house is VERY well stocked from pillows to kitchen necessities and beyond. We cooked a good bit and didn’t need anything additional at all to make full meals. The queen bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. It is private with the beautiful patio area in front, but close to everything in a great neighborhood. There were plenty of of fans to help us stay cool when the house had to be shut up while the air quality was poor in Seattle from the fires. Alexa has thought of everything. We would definitely rent again if we need a place in Seattle!

Great place and neighborhood

This was a great place. We had three in our group and this worked out very well for us. The neighborhood was far enough from downtown that made it easy to navigate. Alexa let a helpful binder with lots of information and tips. We took a bus that had a stop close by and rode that into downtown. Plus enjoyed dinner close by thanks to the recommendations from the binder.

Alexa was amazing with communication, and went out of her way to stay in contact, and helpful storing bags. She was willing to communicate with my family since I wasn’t on the trip. She recommended good eats, and her place is perfect! I will be back for sure! Thank you!

This is such an amazing place to stay! Incredibly clean, organized with so so many amenities. Alexa has thought of everything for this property and made us feel at home. She is a gracious host and communicated with me thoroughly. My family has two adults and two young children and we still had plenty of room. Great location, close to the zoo and just a short drive to the waterfront. The streets are very narrow with steep parking but that’s just typical Seattle! We tried some of the neighborhood recommendations and loved the Uneeda Burger and bakeries! We will definitely stay here again when we come back for a visit!

Cleanest VRBO Ever

This was truly the most spotless rental we have seen (and we have stayed at a number of properties). I stayed with my 8 year old son. It had everything we could have possibly needed, including a very helpful binder with specific info regarding the home, and another with recommendations of things to do in the area. There were lovely details, like coffee, tea, sparkling water, cookies, soap, dish detergent, etc. All household essentials easily found. The place was beautifully updated, and thankfully no wall to wall carpeting or heavy drapery (which is great for people with allergies). This is one of the most accurately listed places I have seen. I would highly recommend it and definitely stay again.
