About this property

Seattle at its Best - a Great Neighborhood for Walking!!

  • Your private apartment is set within a gorgeous, beautifully-appointed 1917 Craftsman Bungalow in the premiere walking district of Seattle - theaters, restaurants, shopping and more shopping, parks and trails for walking and biking; close to bus lines to downtown Seattle, the Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Center and the Sound Transit trains; near the tulip fields and ferries to the San Juan Islands and historic areas north of Seattle; Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are a day-trip; quiet, residential neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Relax on the outside patio for some quiet time, enjoy a short walk to one of the neighborhood theaters or restaurants (sushi, Italian, Japanese, Thai, vegetarian, fusion, pizza, etc., etc.). There's nothing you'll need that you can't find in Wallingford. This is the large downstairs unit, with southern-exposure garden windows, a private entrance that is accessed from the side of the house, and a guest-available garden patio.

Great small 1 br apartment in Wallingford. You don’t need a car here. The 62 bus will take you to near Pikes Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, Pioneer Square, Green Lake and more! We didn’t really cook in the apartment, mostly ate breakfast and some lunches there, but there were some useful staples there. Check in and check out we’re both very easy. There’s lots of restaurants & a grocery store nearby on 45th St. Hope to return in the next few years! Thanks!

Great location in a beautiful and very walkable neighborhood, with a profusion of flowering plants and trees on every street. We loved being able to walk to the grocery store and to a variety of restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. Some of our favorites were breakfast at Julia's, lunch at Stone Way Cafe, baked goods from Sea Wolf, and the hand crafted donuts from DOCE Donut Company (be sure to try the Tres Leche: unbelievable!). Our accommodations were perfect for relaxing and it was a great spot for gathering with our daughter, who was living nearby. We had everything we could possibly need, and the king size bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. I would love to stay here again the next time I am in Seattle.

We really enjoyed our visit to Seattle staying here. Our son and his wife live a few blocks away. We walked to Fremont for the day (but we like to walk). Really great quiet neighborhood. Neighborhood is a little busy before and after school on school days. Pretty easy to find parking during day in the area. We plan on staying again in future. Thanks again Garnett, nice to meet you.

Sweet place in a great neighborhood

The apartment is not large but it had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. The location is fantastic--very quiet, across from a park but an easy walk to restaurants and stores. We would happily stay again.
