Our place was clean and comfortable. Parking was always available on the street. The view was wonderful. The access to the path around Green Lake couldn’t have been easier.I would definitely book this place when I’m in the area again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The location and view of Green Lake was even better than we expected. Street parking was easy - every day we parked right in front of the steps to the unit. The property was clean, well-appointed and comfortable. Communication with the owner was prompt and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location, very quaint place. Nice view of the lake. Road outside may be a little loud certain time of the day, but great walking area. Did not see any hot tub.
This is a great rental. The location is right on Green Lake. It is easy walking to anything you need. The rental had everything you need. So spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was just like being at home. We loved our stay.
If I could give this property and host more than 5 stars I would. Property met all of our expectations - right across the street from Green Lake which was refreshing during the hotter than normal weather we had, shops, restaurants and public transportation within walking distance (we didn't have a car), well-stocked kitchen essentials, comfortable beds, etc. Paul was a gracious, kind, and very communicative host. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
This apartment is across the street from Green Lake and very accessible from apartment. The space is very clean and well appointed with 2 bedrooms and one bath. The pictures don’t do it justice. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything we needed. The owner lives upstairs and was
My only problem was the hill and the steps. It was tough on my breathing. If I knew that info we would not have chosen the home. I dont consider it on the ground floor.. The apartment itself was lovely!

Hi Annie -- sorry for any trouble. Glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay, and it was nice talking to you and your husband. For others considering this rental, the apartment is on the ground floor of the property, but the property is indeed 8 steps up from the street. The steps are seen in the photos of the property, but I can take more (or answer any questions) as needed. Parking on the street/hill is directly opposite the steps in the photo. Thanks, --Paul

Great Location - Good for kids
Clean, well kept, well stocked. Really awesome location on Green Lake- walking distance to coffee & food. Lots of toys and kid accessories.
Only knock for us was that we were on East Coast time with two little kids and the upstairs had also been rented to a family (on West Coast time) with kids and it was quite loud at times. Our kids dealt OK but was tough on my wife and me to get restful sleep given the time difference.
I suspect when the Owners are occupying above they are far more sensitive to their impact on their renters below. In any event Paul was super responsive to the few issues we had. Chocolate and wine left for us was a thoughtful touch after a really long trip with little kids.

Thanks for staying with us, Andrew -- we're really glad you enjoyed the location and amenities. And yes, you are right -- we are very sensitive to our guests! In this (one-time) case, we had let a displaced family stay upstairs in our space over Thanksgiving, while we were away, and I gather dinner and their kids resulted in some evening noise -- for which we are sorry. I would encourage potential guests to see our other reviews, to review the description of our house (designed and built for privacy and quiet for our guests), and to please ask any and all questions you may have! Thanks again -- Paul & Susan
We stayed here for 9 days while looking for a new apartment. It was the perfect location and easy to walk or drive to all the neighborhoods we were looking at. The owners were very responsive to text and email and always there if we needed them!
Loved taking a daily run or walk around the lake!
Great stay at this property near Green Lake! Clean, organized, comfortable. Everything we needed. It was great being able to walk to places in the neighborhood! Will definitely stay again!
The property is as advertised. It's a comfortable two bedroom with a fully equipped kitchen. The tv system is easy to use and provides a wide variety of apps. The owners are very responsive to any questions or needs. The location is fabulous. Across the street is Green Lake, which is an in city recreational park. It is three miles around. There are coffee shops and restaurants a short walk away. The city bus is just a few minutes away and you can easily get to downtown on the bus. Parking our car near the property was never a problem. Green Lake is one of the premier neighborhoods in Seattle and this property is perfect for any type of family from couples to families with children. We hope to return there one day and watch another sunset from the outdoor deck chairs.

Fabulous Green Lake Apartment for Families
Finding "Paul's House" was like magic as we faced the daunting challenge of how to keep a 3 year-old occupied and happy during the rainy season as we planned a visit with my daughter and grandson to meet our son's new baby in Seattle. The lovely Green Lake apartment was perfect, very nice and clean, kid-friendly (even some toys!), well-stocked kitchen, and walking distance to parks and coffee shops. We had one tiny issue with bathroom drain, Paul was there in 5 minutes and fixed it. The living room was very comfortable, with room for family activities and a special "kids table." Over the years, we have stayed at many, many vacation rentals, this was our very best experience ever! Our grandson insisted on knowing "whose house is this?" We dubbed it Paul's house.
Paul's house will definitely be our first choice as we return to Seattle for future visits with our son's family.

Beautiful home and location!
The home is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable. We love the Greenlake area and loved that we had a view from the family room! Our host was easy to get in touch with and answered any questions I had. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to relax
This apartment is located in a beautiful house on a hill overlooking Green Lake Park. The park is one of the best loved places in Seattle. A very diverse crowd is out strolling, jogging, boating, fishing, swimming and walking their dogs. If you like dogs, it's a great dog show because Seattle residents love dogs and really go for beautiful breeds. The apartment is bright, sunny and clean. The owners were not intrusive but responded immediately if we had a question or need. Relax in deck chairs overlooking the lake, or in the comfortable couches in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with really nice dishes, complimentary coffee and tea. There are interesting restaurants within walking distance--through very nice residential area. We bought bus passes and took buses to downtown Seattle and Discovery Park--so we didn't have to rent a car. A great place; enjoy it and fantasize that you live in one of the best houses in Seattle while you are there!

About the host
Hosted by Paul
Our family has lived in this house for over 20 years. I, Paul, am a fan of all things leisurely, including playing golf and sipping mezcal. My wife Susan is active around the lake and a bit of a foodie. We have a daughter off at college, and a son that is a junior in high school.
Our story: we lifted this house 20 years ago and put a brand new, legal accessory dwelling unit (apartment) under it. It is an above-ground apartment that has great views and gets great natural light (for Seattle, anyway). We live in the 2 floors above. The apartment worked great as a long-term rental (4 sets of very satisfied tenants), but now we like using the space at certain times of the year; hence, VRBO. While we are relaxed and sociable, we are very conscious of your quiet privacy!
This place is a great spot for enjoying the lake and is a short jaunt to UW or downtown (and is also on the route of the Microsoft Connector -- feel free to ask about Corporate Housing / extended stays). Any other questions about us, the place, or the neighborhood -- don't be shy. Thanks for looking!
Why they chose this property
Compared to other Green Lake properties, this is as close to the park as you can get, is higher above the street, is as modern a space as any, is private (separate entrance, etc.), has two separate bedrooms (and many great amenities, including laundry, cook's kitchen), and is well equipped for kids. The view is excellent, especially from your own private patio (with Adirondack-style chairs and a Weber barbecue). It is decidedly different from the "rental hotels" that are sprouting up in Seattle neighborhoods to cheaply accommodate less-discerning tourists.
Within a 15 minute walking distance to great restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and entertainment.
Metro bus line #62 to downtown and Magnuson Park within 1 block. Bus line #26 to downtown and Northgate Mall within 3 blocks. Bus line #45 to University of Washington and light rail station within 4 blocks.
What makes this property unique
The view of the lake -- from inside the apartment, and on your private patio!
