Reviews

• Katerina from United States – 23 September 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was wonderful, spacious, and very clean. There was even a bottle of white wine and an assortment of snacks put out by the host.
  
  What could be improved: The painting in the bedroom was hanging with the wrong side up, not a bad thing but strange.

• Jörg from Germany – 7 September 2024 (10/10)

  We were already expected when we arrived at the holiday flat, besides the fact that we arrived two hours earlier as announced. The host gave us a brief description of all facilities. Additionally we found coffee and some snacks in the kitchen. The flat had all the facilities as we could imagine – coffee machine, toaster, a big fridge with icecube producer, microwave, a big flat screen TV and even a laundry. We also had a seperate parking space and a terrace with a comfortable couch. The rooms were perfect for our 4 headed family.
  The host were very friendly and answered all questions in short time – including a self-induced power outage. He also prepared an overview about places of interests in the environment.

• Hans-hermann from Germany – 6 September 2024 (9/10)

  A good place for exploring Seattle and the surroundings. Well equipped and spacious.
  
  What could be improved: The street is a bit noisy.

• Heather from Canada – 8 July 2024 (9/10)

  Very nice place, with everything you need for a stay. Kitchen well equipped, BBQ was great, outdoor firepit. Lots of towels, extra bankets if needed, toiletries. I think Ray thought of just about everything! Location great…easy to get to grocery stores, and the metro station is only a couple of miles away.
  
  What could be improved: nothing, it perfectly suited our needs.

• Ramirez from United States – 29 June 2024 (10/10)

  Super clean
  
  What could be improved: Ice maker

• Alexander from Russia – 4 May 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent location, very friendly host, very comfortable beds. We hope to see you again. Thank you, Ray!

• Julie from United States – 1 January 2024 (10/10)

  We LOVE that the host has the basic needs for that ALL important first night: snacks and wine 🙂 plus coffee or tea for the next morning. There is a desk in the bedroom and small rugs on both sides of the bed. The kitchen is well equipped for the cook or baker in the family.
  
  What could be improved: things that the host cannot control: it’s Seattle…… so every location is expensive. this place is priced well for being JUST outside of Seattle and the traffic! Going south, its posted 25 mph up to just before the address, BUT NO ONE heeds that and will ‘ride your bumper’.

• Julie from United States – 8 December 2023 (10/10)

  the location is great! it’s close to South center mall, SeaTac airport, and both freeways: I-5 and 405.
  Ray is a wonderful host! the house is super clean and supplied with more than just the cooking basics. it’s nice to arrive and have a bottle of wine waiting for us the evening of our arrival and be able to make coffee the first morning. Ray keeps a binder of local eateries, has maps of the area, and board games in the closet.
  
  What could be improved: if a small rug could be placed on the window side of the bed, it would great! The floor is cold on that side of the bed. I think adding to the binder information about recycling and where the trash goes outside.

• Nabil from Yemen – 16 October 2023 (9/10)

  Big and beautiful, you will find most of what you need in. The owner Ray is exceptionally helpful.
  
  What could be improved: You need to have a car for your movement, otherwise you will have to have taxi

• William from United States – 26 September 2023 (10/10)

  Central location to downtown, the airport, Tacoma and many other points of interest. Also the views of Lake Washington with access to to waters edge being right across the street.
  
  What could be improved: The street in front (Rainier Ave S.) is a medium to high traffic street, with traffic traveling at speeds over the posted speed limit, sometimes made it difficult to get out. This is out of the owners control but was our only blemish to our stay.
