Amazing place by Northgate!

The home was beautifully put together, great location and the owners so thoughtful and helpful with everything! Loved that it was within walking distance to a little park with a tennis court! Much Mahalos for a lovely stay!

Great VRBO!

The apartment was one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in! The hosts took the time and attention to the small details to make guests more comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked to be able to cook in! The host also went out of her way to give us flowers and a treat for our one year anniversary! I hope to book again here soon!

Beautiful Seattle neighborhood

Such a quiet residential neighborhood, about half an hour walk to the train station and then easy to commute around the city. The unit is exactly like the pictures, spacious for a small family with the twin sized matts good for my two teenagers. The larger closet was perfect for storing suitcases.

About the host

Hosted by Jena Peterson

We have lived in Seattle for 25 years; we have recently remodeled our entire home and want to share it with you! As avid travelers ourselves, we use short term rentals frequently as opposed to hotels. We love the freedom it brings in a "home away from home". We love the people from all over the world we have met who have stayed in our home.

Why they chose this property

This is a gem of a neighborhood tucked away in NE Seattle - about 1 mile from the light rail, a 5 minute walk to three different bus lines that go to downtown and UW - but QUIET, safe. A neighborhood. A lovely park with playground 1/2 block up the street, lovely neighbors. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Eco Friendly finishes, non-toxic substances used. 100% natural latex bed with organic cotton cover.
Home is all on one level, no stairs involved, walk-in shower. Driveway can be parked in to enable flat walk to door of the unit.
