We look forward to hosting you! Located just about 4 or 5 miles from the SeaTac Airport, this area was once considered out in the sticks. There are now many beautiful homes and nice communities and neighborhoods connected to one another all the way from the SeaTac airport, which has also expanded south. Many areas are being revitalized along the way as a result of progress and this particular location is seeing that too. It is right in the path of growth and change is happening fast all over the Kent, Des Moines, Federal Way and Tacoma areas. From this Abnb site, just head West for a few minuets to anyone of the several beaches available to roam or go out to one of the great restaurants along the shores and watch a glorious sunset. Or, go East for a few minuets to downtown Kent for more to see. Take a nice walk along the green river trails as 20 or 30 minuets will get you out into the Cascade foothills for a scenic drive. North to Seattle is about 15 miles and going south to Tacoma is about the same distance but the time of day and the traffic can add extra time to the commutes so,plan for that. The Light Rail Transit system plans to extend its tracks right through this general area in the near years ahead and plans call for local boarding stations to be built just blocks away. This is great news for getting to the airport or into Seattle and in the future into Tacoma. There are several different kinds of ethnic food stores and fabulous restaurants of all kinds around and close by to enjoy at any time. Safeway, Fred Meyer, Dollar store, Grocery Outlet, grocery stores are all also within blocks of here so you should be able to take care all your basic needs and wants with ease. Bus stops are located on Hwy 99 and on Military Rd and are within 3 to 10 blocks or so. The Sounder train and the Light Rail system are within minuets of this location. Uber or Lyft are available to all the good restaurants along the shores. Cabs are still available. Driving is not too bad no matter which way your going. There is quick and easy access to I-5, I- 405, 18, 509, Hwy 99, and more as well as taking one of the back roads that sneak their ways to the downtown districts of Seattle or Tacoma. Uber and Lyft are also available!

The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. It had the bare minimum for amenities. I would not have been comfortable in the neighborhood alone or at night.

John was very sweet. We needed somewhere to rest up. For the price this was perfect. This was cleaner than alot of hotel rooms we stayed in for double the price. Would definitely get again.

I recently started a job in the Seattle area and needed a place that I could use for about 3 weeks while I searched for a long term apartment. This rental served perfectly.

The actual apartment is small but very well maintained, its just too bad tnat the adjacent buildings are run down and not well maintained. The garbage situation was disgusting too, garbage dumpsters were overflowing all of the time

Great apartment and property manager-- just a bit of a scary neighborhood
The place is very clean, perfect for 2 people. Full kitchen had everything we need, bathroom and bedroom were also good size and in good shape. It had everything we needed. John was very nice and communicative. We wanted to extend our stay by one night and he was very flexible and very responsive, we were able to square that away quickly via a couple of exchanged messages. We were initially, however, given the wrong code via email so we couldn't get in on the day of our arrival (and it was 3am because our flight was super delayed!) but the phone number provided prior to check in about lock outs worked great, the service immediately fixed the problem and gave us the new code. Took only a few mins and was just a silly mistake so no harm no foul. The one major flaw is the location, as it is located in a seemingly sketchy neighborhood in town in what we were told is the gang part of town. We did hear what sounded like a gunshot at 5am that awoke us...... but for the record, we had no issues with theft or any bad encounters with any neighbors. But there were moments when we were a little bit on edge, we definitely preferred coming home before it was dark and we were definitely a bit jumpy after that. Overall, it was close to the airport and close to the highway and was really good locationally for our itinerary, just the neighborhood was scary and felt a little unsafe tbh. Thank you!

A comfortable and well stocked little place. It was as advertised. The only flaw is the immediate neighborhood seemed a little sketchy but it was quiet and I had no problems

It was a very great apartment, and it had a nice touch to it. Very well organized. Just as a head's up; the apt.'s location is in a gang location of the city, BUT the community takes care of each other, and the police maintain the community safe. A quiet place, with no negative situations taking place. I would highly recommend it. 5 stars.

The neighborhood was Suspicious and checking into the property took some time since we were not informed the pin code for the door. Figuring out the code took about an hour to an hour and a half since the owner did not get back to us as soon as possible. The pillows had splotches of yellow stains when removing the coverings.

Safety was a concerned for us so we did not stay at the location. We drove into the unit location and got lots of unwanted attention. It made us very uncomfortable. The location was not welcoming at all. There were trashes and griffins everywhere. We noticed the units across the streets were cleaner and gated. We ended up paying for a hotel for 5 night instead of staying here. We've tried working with the host since the day we arrived so far nothing. He wanted us to "cancel" before he works with us, however, the "cancel" button was no longer available since the time frame of the stay started. We contacted VRBO on 8/23 but have not hear back.
When traveling to a new location, our number one priority is safety for ourselves and our possessions. The place itself was nice and clean however, the location was not it.

This apartment was the perfect space for me and my wife. We came up for a wedding so we just needed a place to shower and sleep. It was really easy to find the apartment. It’s really close to the airport (15mins) and we found A LOT of great places to eat nearby! We also weren’t too far from many hikes in WA 🙌🏽 I recommend this place for someone who just needs the necessities.

Unit was exactly as described and pictured, except the outdoor space appeared to have new sod, so that was even better! It's obvious the owner cares about his rental. The kitchen is equipped, coffee available for brewing, a few condiments in the fridge along with dish soap and paper towels. He even checked to see that we had gotten settled in or if we had any needs.
I'm just not sure the owner of the neighboring units have the same standards. Driving in, the right side of the neighborhood looked sketchy, while the left side had gated apartments. I got this unit for a job assignment and thus go out at various hours, day & night. I never experienced any issues but I was on alert anytime I left or returned to the unit after dark.
It's a nice unit, just be aware the neighborhood is NOT a reflection of it.

The wife and I booked this place for our honeymoon and it was great! The bed was a little firmer than we liked but it was great having a full sized fridge and freezer and a stove top for nights we just wanted to come home early and cook some food. Couch was comfy and the extra blanket was really nice! It was in a nice quiet neighborhood that is easy to get to.
