Cute updated bungalow

Loved the first floor! Bright bedrooms - clean kitchen, cute outdoor space and large living area! Basement bedroom was very small but doable! Little sauna is fun - for two smaller people or just solo is best! Easy access to Seattle!

Can’t wait to stay again

We had a group of six and loved how accommodating the space was! Super clean, great house notes with recommendations and convenient location to grocery store and local restaurants and best of all bus stops within a block. Close enough to bars/clubs but not too close! Excellent house!! Hope to be back soon.

Great stay!

We know we enjoyed our stay, gave you the feel of the city life. My only recommendation would be thicker bath towels. Other than that we really enjoyed the home, location, and our family trip to Seattle. Owner was easy to work with and provided excellent instructions and tips about the area.

Great spot!

We rented Nathan's house for a little family meet-up in Seattle. It was perfect - plenty of space, good location, and very comfy. We especially loved the outdoor deck - was a great place to hang and catch up. Nathan was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

Seattle stay

This was honestly one of the best air bnb I have stayed at. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The house was lovely and perfect for me and my 4 other friends stay in Seattle. Location was great close walking distance to restaurants, bakery’s and a brewery. Easy transportation to downtown and he had great recommendations . It’s a must stay if you are looking for a place in Seattle

Spectacular May vacation in Seattle

Very nice property. Comfortable home, well maintained, and generous with the amenities. Tons of room. Loved the screen door to the back patio. Our dog learned to use it in a matter of minutes and had access to outside whenever she wanted. Loved the keypad to get in and out of the house. The location is convenient and easy to get to different areas in Seattle. The driveway is a bit daunting so it was nice to have parking in front of the house. A big thanks to Nathan to making us feel so welcome!

Clean and comfortable home near Seattle University. Easy to walk to restaurants. Kitchen is new and spacious. Lots of rooms for a family to feel comfortable. Union is a very busy street, lots of traffic noise early in the morning, could be a problem for light sleepers.

Comfortable home away from home

The house was perfect for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving. The space was comfortable and clean. The great kitchen and gas grill on the deck made cooking meals feel like home. Nathan was was very accommodating. He brought in a large roasting pan for turkey cooking and a dining table with chairs for seating. He also responded right away to any questions we had. Highly recommend.

Excellent location

Property was awesome, huge basement and within walking distance from a lot of places. Only critic would be to check the water heater. Water was luke warm/ borderline cold during the first shower and every subsequent shower after.
