This was very spacious. Very clean. two comfortable beds. We could walk everywhere.
The town closes down early as it is off season. So a little bigger tv would have been great since you are in at dusk.
We loved this place.

We enjoyed our stay at Nichols Street Suites. Our apartment had two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and a small coffee bar/sink, small refrigerator, and kitchen table. It was perfect for me and my husband. We were within walking distance to most everything we wanted to visit including the Saturday Market and waterfront area. We will definitely be back.

Four nights right in the heart of beautiful downtown Friday Harbor, with everything just steps away. Three days of biking around the island, with beautiful weather throughout. There was a classical music festival right across the street every day! Everything about this stay was FANTASTIC!

We really love the location of our lodging.. Beds were very comfortable, and the place was clean. I would recommend having screens on the windows because it was very stuffy and the portable fan was way too loud. I would definitely come back.

Funk and Junk did not disappoint! A step back in time for us. Super cute, super clean and the absolute best location in Friday Harbor for walking anywhere. Breakfast literally outside your window, Sea and Salt and Farmers Market across the street and San Juan Brewery around the corner along with a coffee stand. Great deck for mornings and evening relaxation. Totally recommend!!
4.0
Chosen as it was under $200 for an expensive Island. The reason for the 4 rating…no AC (we knew that) and with the very early line up of trucks at the ferry, we were woken each morning at 5:20am. When we decided to just have coffee (which we needed to purchase, Annie said she hasn’t provided for years) the machine’s heating element was broken.
On the positive side, we asked if there was a place for our electric bikes…we were offered a side shed. Lastly, the TV was smaller than my desktop monitor.

Downtown Friday harbor. They were very accommodating when I changed it from 1 to 2 guests.

This place is within walking distance of all of downtown Friday Harbor and the waterfront. Check in process was a breeze with Annie and the room was clean. We were out and about for most of our stay but did watch a movie one night
in the living area. We would definitely recommend this place!

Overall, a comfortable and convenient place. Owners are lovely and check-in was simple. Easy walk from the ferry terminal and close to everything in town. Has off street parking if you need it. We stayed in unit 2 which is at the front and has a deck overlooking the street and nearby restaurants. Lovely spot to relax in the evening. There are two bedrooms, one queen and one full. Both comfortable. Kitchen is pretty basic and didn’t have a coffee maker but there are several options for coffee close by. Fridge definitely needs defrosting. Be aware that they request that you don’t flush toilet paper and ask you to place it in a trash bin instead.

Friday Harbor is a quaint little town. This place was a perfect place to walk to everything in town, including the ferry. It was just 2 of us, but it could have easily accommodated 2 couples, or a small family. Things in town close early. It was nice getting food to go and having a quiet sunset dinner on the balcony. I'd readily stay here again!

We loved our time at Friday Harbor and this listing was perfection. Everything was accurate. The location is perfect and so accessible to anything you’d want to do. I’ll definitely stay here again on another visit to San Juan Island.

Nice location for our first trip to Friday Harbor. Would have comfortably slept 5 to 6 adults in the smaller apartment with the fold out sofa. The street facing porch was an added bonus.
The only disappointment was lack of a coffee maker.
5.0
The property is centrally located, the hosts are friendly and the suite layout was comfortable for 2 adults or a family of 3-4.
Only 2 important issues to be aware of an otherwise nice stay:
1) The plumbing is very weak and you are not allowed to flush toilet paper. You must wipe and toss it in the garbage.
2) The refrigerator does not work and a coffee pot is not provided. Both issues could be easily remedied for future guests but it’s worth asking the host for these amenities prior to booking.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything is within walking distance. The room is cozy.
The windows needed cleaning. Everything else was great.

Our main weekend activities were at Roche Harbor, 25 minute drive away. This unit was more affordable than places closer to Roche. The unit is much roomier than expected, comfortable and has an interesting view from the windows and deck to watch passersby traffic below. Walking distance to all of Friday Harbors. We recommend and will stay again.

I stayed at Nicholas Street Suites and Lodging for a total of 10 days - the first week in the smaller apartment at the front of the building, and the last few days in the bigger unit with my sister. The location of this place is awesome. Friday Harbor isn't big, so once there, you can walk everywhere - and these apartments were right in town. Annie was great about answering questions and coordinating with me. Both units have 2 Q/double beds, each in their own room. There are pros and cons to both. The bigger unit has a full kitchen and very large living area. It is also at the back of the house, so the deck is more private. The only con to this unit is that the bathroom is located in one of the bedrooms. This did not bother us, but it is good to know. The smaller unit is really quite large itself, but does not have a full kitchen. It is a bit noisier because it is in the front of the house and on the street, but I didn't mind this at all. The only way to access the units are stairs - just in case this is a problem for anyone. And there are no screens on the windows, so you do get a few flying insects inside. Both units were immaculately clean. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were well-stocked. I would most definitely stay in either unit again!

This property was very cozy, clean, and comfortable. The property manager was very helpful for info about the town and island offerings.
While only traveling with two people this trip it would be very comfortable for a family with one or two children.
Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful condo!

I enjoyed 3 nights in Friday Harbor in this very comfortable, home-like apartment. This place has character, good character, it's not a cookie-cutter commercial space. It's a quiet neighborhood (but I guess that's true for Friday Harbor in general), with easy access to coffee (just around the corner), restaurants and shops. Annie, the host, couldn't be nicer, full of information, warm and welcoming. I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck and reading. Slept well - really, what's not to like.

Great location. Eclectic charm. Walking distance to stores and restaurants (when open). Most places are closed during week (tip)! Host was great.

Great location. It was unusually hot and the fans that were provided were very noisy.A lot of restaurants were closed or closing the last week of August. Nice to have a transit service to go other places on the island.

It was all I expected and more. I was there in September so weather didn't need air conditioning. Lots of room, lots of deck. Would love to rent it again.. I wish downstairs was open as I would have liked to buy something but we had to leave early in the morning before she opened. Kind lady. Great location, have breakfast on one side and rent a scooter on the other side

This place was perfect. The unit was so much bigger than in pictures and was extremely comfortable. You can’t beat the location and I will definitely be back :)

The unit is rustic but in a great location near ferry in Friday Harbor. Clean and essentials provided. Weather was quite warm and only a few of the windows open but a fan was provided. Owner advised upon checking in the price was actually a bit higher than what had been advertised and charged more $ hence the 3 stars. Isn't it the owner's responsibility to make sure prices on the booking calendar are accurate.

Nicely located to ferry, shops and restaurants. Great breakfast place next door. Place was clean and homey.

This suite was so perfect for my friend and I! It was fun to have the deck to sit on. We brought our camp stove and cooked outside on a beautiful night. Also loved being walking distance in the downtown area. Such a cute, comfy and perfect spot. Thank you so much!

This apartment was just right for our weekend in Friday Harbor. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. It was clean and comfortable. It was perfectly located in town for walking most anywhere. We ate at Cynthia’s next door for breakfast each morning and it was delicious. We took the most amazing whale watching trip with Maya’s Legacy. We watched the sun set at Limeklin park by the light house. It was the perfect weekend.

Perfect place, perfect town, perfect weekend. It felt like we slipped into a Hallmark movie and we liked it. It is so relaxing here with so much to do and a wonderful deck where we could chill out and ponder what to do...or do nothing. We will be back.

What a great spot to stay in Friday Harbor. I couldn't ask for a more central location to all the town has to offer. The room was way more than one person needed, but I appreciated the space. I also appreciated Annie taking the time to point out all the local spots she thought might interest me. I had an amazing time and I can't wait to visit again.
5.0
I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. Annie and Michael are amazing...they were both around if we had questions or needed anything PLUS they have Funk & Junk downstairs (trust me, it is worth a look around...super cute).
I reserved the apartment knowing that there wouldn't be a full kitchen and a mini fridge. I pre-planned meals that we could eat on the go, or while lounging on the patio (think bento box foods...fresh veggies, fruit, nuts, cheese).
The apartment was clean and spacious. There are games, books and a small TV (but really, who wants to sit on a couch and watch TV while on vacation?)...I would 100% stay here again if we are ever on the island. Thank you Annie and Michael for making our stay memorable :)

Being able to stay in a reasonably-priced, centrally located spot was great! Unit 2 is roomy and light. Owners are friend.ly but not intrusive. The unit provided everything we needed, including off-street parking. Friday Harbor is very walkable. The entry does have stairs, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
