About this property

Cosmopolitan Studio in Upscale Historic Neighborhood<br><br>

Natural light pours into spacious kitchen area with western sunset view, with a glimpse of the Olympics, for one or two people. Eating counter with stools is adjacent to spacious cooking area for conversation and comraderie. Exhaust fan to outdoors and adjustable mood lighting are over counter. Two steps down to cozy bedroom area with queen bed, easy chairs with reading lights and high ceilings. Fully enclosed bath house with hot tub and French doors opening onto side deck on the other side of the house is available to guests; or take a short walk to lake views of Mt. Rainier and the Cascades where there are blocks of elegant homes and gardens from 1920's. Mt. Baker Park , an Olmstead legacy park a block down the hill , has tennis courts and a great kids' playground, A five minute walk takes you to lakefront with supervised beach area, and further down is the Rowing and Sailing Center with boat ramp and sailboat rental. It's on a jogging/bike path extending six miles, ending in Seward Park, a peninsula of original growth forest with its own beach and outdoor summer concerts.
At the corner across from the park, Café Mioposto is open long hours with a full bar. The building has a Pilates studio, hair salon and pet shop. It's a five block walk to grocery store and pharmacy, Light Rail line to airport and downtown. City bus stops in front of the house.
Seattle is known for good bookstores, live music and theatre, and a variety of restaurants, most with outdoor dining in the summer. Gourmands appreciate food sources like the Pike Place Market and weekly neighborhood farmers' markets. Crafters appreciate sources for knitting/weaving yarn (about seven stores in the area), jewelry, quilting and woodworking supplies. Shopaholics love Bellevue Square just across the lake, and the Nordstrom Rack!
Use this property as a base for day trips to outdoor recreation in the greater area, whether mountains or Sound, including Victoria, B.C.; explore the islands of Puget Sound, go to the Lavender Festival or the Bellevue Arts Festival in July, attend the Hydroplane races in August-the course is a few blocks from the house. Relax on long summer nights with sunset views from the studio or the deck, or cozy up to your favorite book or TV inside. Deck chairs provided for sunset views in front of the door in fair weather months.
Wifi available in unit.

Perfect if you want to take public transportation into downtown

Enjoyed being close to the light rail station (about .5 miles away), which made it easy to explore Seattle. Had everything we needed for our couple of days in the area.

Great getaway location

Spent a weekend at this studio. It has a great location and a very nice setup. You can do a lot from this location on foot. Wish we would have brought our bikes to do some riding. We spent the day walking the parks and enjoyed the Italian restaurant around the corner. Would definitely recommend.

The suite is located close to the light rail station Mount Baker, very convenient (10min walk). The owner is really kind and give many instructions on what to do around the property. It is handy to have a kitchen in the room as well as 2 cozy armchairs.

Fantastic

The studio was a described in the pictures. I did not use the hot tub as I was too busy, Suzanna was friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with. Her studio is about 5 houses up from Mt Baker Community Building where my training was being held. The location is great neighborhood families, dogs, a park close by and a short walk to Washington Lake. Restaurants are close and the food is good. I enjoyed my stay would recommend this VRBO .

Clean, cozy and convenient to public transportation

I had a lovely 2 night stay at The Plumb Suite while I was in Seattle for a Red Cross training. It was in a really pretty neighborhood with plenty of on street parking and less than a mile from my class. The studio was spotless and comfortable; it was nice to have a full kitchen. It was also extremely quiet at night and the internet was fast enough for my needs. In the evening it was really nice to have a neighborhood that I could take a long walk in. I also walked to the light rail which was a few blocks away and then it was a short ride to downtown. I am so glad I chose to stay here instead of at a motel. I would definitely stay here again.

Delightful!

My husband and I recently visited Seattle for the first time and we had a great stay in the PlumbSuite. We rented a car and the location was an easy and quick drive into downtown. We also rode the train a couple of times and it was easy and inexpensive! There is a bus stop in front of the house, too. So, lots of transportation options. This is a small, clean and cute apartment. The neighborhood is super nice and quaint. We especially loved walking to the coffee shop on the corner and then taking our coffee to the nearby park and beach. It's very close to Cloumbia City which has a great farmers market, shops, restaurants and bars. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation! The fresh cut yellow roses decorating the nightstand were a special touch! The owner was helpful and available for anything that we needed while giving us total privacy.

Dirty!

DON’T STAY HERE! Drips of blood on sheets, moldy shower head, dirty stovetop, musty hot tub! No apologies for any of it, despite filthy conditions. On a side note if you do want to use the hot tub, owner prefers you go naked and not wear a suit. This is actually in the instruction book in the room. It is not private and you can easily be seen from the side of the house. Also, the blinds are paper thin that let the light shine brightly through at 7am. The location is great, I suggest same area, different house.

Sleepless in Seattle

Overall, this is a nice place to stay, but it could have been much better. Cleanliness is a big issue here. Needs a deep cleaning. Pros: Location is awesome. The #14 bus stop is right in front of the house. We used public transportation for the whole trip. City bus and Lyft. Cons: Matted, dirty bathroom rugs, creaky old bed, down pillows which were very old and smelly, all bedding, duvet and shams needed to be laundered. It was like sleeping in a pile of dirty clothes. Furniture needs to be cleaned and floors vacuumed. TV is located above and behind the 2 sitting chairs. There were no dishcloths in the kitchen. Outside security light kept going on/off all night long. Owner walked in on us without knocking. Owner had to reset bath light/fan circuit breaker twice for us. Entry door glass very dirty and had streaks. Multi-level floors come together in one spot. 3 levels in a small area is a huge trip hazard especially at night. Keypad instructions for locking door were wrong. Owner encouraged using hot tub without swimwear. Hot tub room not private-did not have window coverings facing the house.

Cozy little space, with room for improvements

We enjoyed our stay at this property for the four nights we spent in Seattle. The property is in a great location close to Lake Washington and in a good neighborhood. Although small it was cozy during the warmest time of year in Seattle. There isn't air conditioning but we were able to open some of the windows and there is a fan provided by the owner. When we arrived we noticed was that the larger side windows didn't have screens installed, so we felt uncomfortable opening them during the night. The following night wasn't an issue since it turned rainy and cooler but the next evening was warm again. This would be an easy fix for cooling. The issue that caused us anxiety about the place is the lack of good parking. The owner discloses this at booking that it is necessary to park your car around the block on the next street Apparently the neighbors on 37th Lane know this is a vacation rental because when we arrived and parked there, the neighbor around the corner was glaring at us, and made sure to park a car in the place we were the next day, causing us to park further down 37th. The parking is the only really negative issue of this rental. It would take some expense, but the owner could easily relocate the wooden picket fence adjacent to the entry door, level out the area for a vehicle, and install one of those little garden retaining walls to hold back the sloping yard from the front. This would increase the overall desirability and value of this property extremely well. The refrigerator outlet is connected to the kitchen gfci outlet. The gfci tripped during the night for some reason. We had earlier placed our leftover Chinese food in there. We left in the morning and by the time we returned at the end of the day, our food had spoiled. This was a real downer as it was great chinese food and we were looking forward to eating it for dinner. The refrigerator should have its own circuit to prevent this. Another electrical issue is the timer fan switch in the bathroom doesn't work. The placement of the sitting chairs are on the same side as the tv, it would be more functional if they were on the other side. The provided coffee maker is extremely small and was dirty inside. A new coffeemaker would be a great addition as we missed our waking coffee while traveling. With these changes it would be a 5 star rental as it's cozy, very nice, and great location. We would recommend most highly with these improvements and also stay again ourselves.

Plumb Suite is fabulous!

Plumb suite was wonderful. Cute and cozy. Everything you want is at your fingertips here. The hot tub was so relaxing. We used it a lot! Suzanna is a very nice, pleasant woman. I enjoyed our chats out in the yard. The bed was comfortable. The neighborhood is nice. Bus stop is right at the house. The sunsets are gorgeous! Any questions we had Suzanna was prompt to answer. I highly recommend staying here. Suzanna, thank you so much for renting to us. We had such a great stay! Your hospitality was wonderful.

Thanks for a great place to call home while in Seattle for work. The neighborhood was great and the space was perfect. It is a small space perfect for one or two people.

This cozy space was perfect for my fiancee and I for a few days. Less than a 2 minute walk leads you to an intersection with a restaurant, with a beautiful park on the other side of the street.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanna Plumb

Host profile image
Retired educator and librarian, my passions are textile crafts, jewelry making, antique refinishing, some gardening and home décor. Fluent French speaker and working to attain fluency in Italian, I'm a Europhile with my vine-covered main deck! I prize the cool summers (mostly) in Seattle and access to the ocean and the waters of Puget Sound, and two great NPR stations. I have two Siamese cats .

Why they chose this property

Developed the studio apartment in 1989. A great neighborhood should be shared with those who cannot purchase in this prime area! Remodeled in December 2010.

What makes this property unique

Quick access to beautiful areas on foot. The sense of history and groundedness in staying in the house that was built to promote the area in 1905, and the authenticity of its architecture. The presence of a variety of plants on the decks,hot tub house and in the yard. A quiet neighborhood close to downtown, yet on a huge lake resembling the lakes of Italy.
