• Lina from Germany – 2 November 2024 (8/10)

  We loved everything about this B&B. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. We felt right at home. The breakfast was different every morning and home made. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The B&B is right in Capitol Hill and you are downtown in 15min. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you for everything!

• Bernard from France – 9 September 2024 (8/10)

  The historical manor is very charming and the manager is very friendy. The room was not very large but cosy. We arrive early so we had the possibility to park in the yard.
  Very good breakfast changing every day.
  The area is full of very nice historical manors. It is very close from the historic Capitol Hill area with restaurants.
  Easy access to public transports.

  Breakfast was very good and the host asks about any dietary restrictions when you check in. I really appreciated that since I’m vegan – and yes, my vegan breakfasts were all very delicious and healthy. They would also check to make sure you got enough to eat. There were comfortable places to eat either with the other guests or a little apart. As a solo traveler, it was actually really comforting for me to eat with the other guests at the main table each morning.
  I stayed in the Clipper room, which was very clean and comfortable. The bed and tons of pillows especially I enjoyed, as well as the desk and chairs in my room. There was A/C, which I didn’t need, but at the same time was glad to have sometimes. I spent plenty of time reading and doing a little remote work (yes, they have solid WiFi) in the common areas of the house like the library and courtyard. All were clean, comfortable, and inviting, with plenty of pillows, tables, lamps, to really settle into a spot. Also everything was quite beautiful – the decor, furniture, and landscaping – overall I would call it cozy (like really cozy, I am not using that as a euphemism for cramped). Other than the shower, there was lots of space (more time om that below).
  The neighborhood is very convenient for walking to local attractions or getting to a transit station. You can also park in the neighborhood, but there seems to be some restrictions on how long you can park in one spot, which made me a little nervous (I had no issues though).
  The host was super friendly and helpful. They also have a dog who is friendly but very quiet and well behaved, so for those who are allergic to dogs, if you just say no, he’ll just trot off. Even when I was eating outside, I said no, and he left me alone.
  
  What could be improved: I was perfectly happy and I would stay here again. There were a few things that weren’t absolutely perfect though, or I think some people might want to know, so here’s that:
  The shower at least in my room was rather small, very large people might not be comfortable.
  My room was a little noisy. I think sound would get in through where the window A/C unit was placed, so I could hear some traffic from (I guess) 10th Street. Nothing some soft ear plugs or a fan wouldn’t help with.
  Everything is pretty scented here. The linens, and sometimes there were scented candles burning, the bathroom products, etc. Not a problem for most people, but those who are sensitive to fragrances might not be comfortable here.

• Patt from United States – 21 August 2024 (8/10)

  The breakfasts were amazing. David was an awesome host. The room was good in size. We loved everything about our stay.

• Phil from United Kingdom – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

  The house was full of character in a lovely quiet area. The breakfast’s were excellent and different each day we were there.
  Our host, David, was friendly and helpful and we would certainly stay here again if we come back to Seattle.
  
  What could be improved: It would have been nice to have had tea and coffee making facilities in the Bedroom, but were available downstairs.

• Caroline from United Kingdom – 19 July 2024 (8/10)

  The house and garden are beautiful and a haven of peace and quiet in a busy city. The bedroom and guest areas downstairs are even lovelier than the photos. The neighbourhood is full of similar houses and its short walk to the lively restaurants and bars of Capitol Hill and buses to downtown.
  
  What could be improved: It would have been nice to have had access to tea and coffee facilities in the room and a small fridge to keep water and other drinks cold. Breakfast was fun around the communal table with a different plated dish each day but I’d have liked the choice of helping myself to fruit, yoghurt and maybe granola as well.
