Julia responded quickly to my questions. The place was very clean and was cleaned I think daily. Shared spaces and pay attention to optional extras.

Saeid's place is clean, convenient and well stocked! It is as mentioned but there are more details that I wanted to add for those who are planning their stay and wonder what to bring. The bathroom is clean and tidy with high quality (and good smelling!) full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion in the shower area. There is also a high powered hair dryer in the bathroom and a mini floss and mending kit in the bathroom drawer just in case. He also has nicely displayed q-tips and cotton rounds. There are ample clean white towels folded in a basket under the sink. He has hotel style shower mats to put over a comfy plush chenille bathmat for extra comfort and cleanliness. Top load washer and dryer work well and detergent is available. There is a full kitchen with glass top convection stove/oven and new pots and pans (even a silicone muffin pan). Fridge and freezer are clean and full size. He has a Keurig with pods and creamers on the counter. Excellent Value!
Julia was a great host, always clear instructions. Great stay, 2 massive bathrooms, never had to wait. Very clean and quiet place. 5/5 stars! Will stay again, thank you.
I had such a lovely experience here. Julia was very responsive, friendly and polite. The place was even more beautiful than I had expected. Very organised and functional. Clear and relaxed. The tenants I was around were very respectful of the rules and of one another. I felt my stay was easy and taken care of. Julia really did think of everything so you don’t have to. She has many services available and plenty of rooms in case you would like to stay longer. I felt the place was very clean and comfortable. There were little unique touches to all the rooms. Art amongst the walls. Right by the water and up in the peaceful hills of Lower Queen Anne. I had such a wonderful stay and would 111% recommend Julia. Thank you again Julia and I hope my review is able to convey my gratitude and appreciation.

My family and I had an amazing time visiting my son who is in the army. I love the small details in the home and how it was very welcoming and inclusive. The art, the fixtures, the candles, the quality of all the small details, including books on self-development growth and inspiring materials to just get away from reality was a welcomed surprise. The balcony overlooking the city and Elliot Bay was a beautiful space to relax and unwind. The location was Minutes from downtown. I wish we had more time to spend in the room, but we stayed on the go just enjoying the city. We will definitely plan to stay again every time we come to visit. The rooms were on different floors which offered privacy and a space for our family to spread out and just enjoy one another at leisure. Thanks so much for hosting our family wishing you a happy and prosperous new year!
literally the best / prettiest room in the house. Makes sense why this is room is always booked! Would stay again in a second.

Rachel’s East Lake townhome was terrific! She has thought of everything needed to make a Seattle visit comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with every appliance and condiment you might need, the bedrooms and bath are comfortable, and the location is incredibly convenient—within walking distance of great sushi, coffee shops, and trails. As much as we wanted to explore Seattle, it was hard to leave the stunning view—from the U Bridge to Gasworks Park, across Lake Union to the sunsets over the Olympic Peninsula. We would happily stay again.
Rainier, shipping lanes, Seattle, Shilshole Marina, & Cascade Mtns. Incredible 180 degree multi-layered panorama, high bank waterfront for that Eagle Eye aspect. Cleanliness is outstanding. Supremely comfortable beds and pillows. Gracious hospitality is appreciated. Book here, peacefulness awaits you.
