I enjoyed my stay here. It instantly felt like home. So much I added an additional day to my stay. It was so cozy. I was easily able to relax. Hosts were very accommodating.

My friend and I rented Alex’s property for the Seattle spartan race weekend. We appreciated his communication throughout our stay and although the place was very small, it worked for us because we weren’t home most of the time. Parking was the best part as it was easy and right in front of the property. There was some misunderstanding on the laundry service but Alex worked with us to get everything taken care of. As far as location, you’re about 30 min from Seattle but it’s not bad at all if you have a car or are going to other areas in Washington.

Everything we needed for a few days of exploring the area was available in a reasonable distance. Host was kind and responsive to my need to add on an extra day. Quiet neighborhood. My trip included renting an EV. No hook up but the local area was supposed to have charging stations. I ended up returning the EV for a gas engine rental car. Note to others- the area doesn’t have the infrastructure for travelers to use EV. Choose your vehicle options wisely. I would stay at this location again.

Good in general, a bit tiny, but nice quiet neighborhood

The property was smaller than I expected, but large enough for what we needed. The only real complaint I have is that the listing said there was AC, which was a big part of the reason we chose it. No AC, just fans. The owner was really helpful when I asked for recommendations for a mechanic though. Kept in communication the entire time we were there.

Unit was as described. Compact but uniquely organized and efficient. Clean and well stocked. Host was quick to reply to requests for information about the unit and the area. Needed auto for shopping and restaurants but were easily accessible. Airport nearby so could hear planes but inside unit they were not bothersome or distracting. Thank you.

Cute place! A couple miles from the airport. Easy bus but the bus doesn’t come many times an hour so might have to wait. Good communication with owner.
Adorable tiny hut has everything you need. Stayed two nights and loved it.

Loved it! It is in a quiet neighborhood just south of the airport. You hear the planes, but didn’t bother us at all. Had everything we needed and decorated nice! Loved the porch area to sit outside. Only about 25 min to downtown Seattle.

I loved my stay. It was clean, comfortable and the property manager was very helpful. I will note that it is right in the flight path for the airport so planes are constantly overhead but the studio is well insulated and not loud inside at all. If I’m ever back in Seattle I will definitely stay here.

This was such a cute and wonderful place! The host was very accommodating. I have provided a list that covers two categories:
Things that I wish had been provided, and things that you should definitely bring (as they are not provided). Note that this is an incredibly small space and they did a wonderful job with what they had so a lack of certain items is to be expected.
The items in question are:
Knives or a knife block
Pots and pans for stovetop cooking
A can opener
Books
The host is, however, as mentioned incredibly accommodating. My girlfriend and I wanted to cook and on several occasions texted Alex for various things (a knife, pot, pan, and can opener), and all were left outside our door in a timely manner.
Also, they have Netflix!
Overall it was a great stay. I would stay here again.

We truly loved our stay here ! Communication with owner was excellent if I needed anything it was right at my door the only thing I would’ve enjoyed is if they had a full bed instead of two twin beds but I understand why I just missed sleeping with my husband everything else was great

I loved the tiny kitchen. I’ve never seen such a small, functioning dishwasher. The tiny stove/oven combo worked great and were perfect for our needs. The oven fits a full-sized baking dish. Tankless water heater worked great with a reasonable minimum of warm-up. Shower was immaculate, tub was large for the space, and decor throughout was appealing. Beds were very comfortable and duvets were light but warm. If you visit during the fall/winter, know that the space is warmed by a small portable heater and does take quite a bit of time to warm up. But it’s well-insulated and once past the initial warmup period easily stays comfortable and cozy all night. There is airplane noise, but we live in the flight path at home, so we mostly didn’t notice it. Street parking is free, easy, and close to the unit. It was a very nice place to stay.

The host has maximized the use of space in my opinion. Well priced, well equipped (kitchen, bath) and sweet outdoor space. The property and neighborhood is quite. There is, of course, the sound of aircraft departing but, to me, not a disturbance. Great access to Angle Lake and its light rail station as well as, of course, SeaTac airport.
Thank you Alex.

This was the perfect place to stay for our short trip to Seattle. It’s conveniently located near the airport and the Link station. Everything was very clean and the host was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Nice place, not a lot of extra space inside. Did get a little warm with some record heat days in the area but able to cool down with fans and windows. Close to a station for the light link rail.

Very well done studio suite near SeaTac and a short walk to the Angle Lake station. Host was communicative with the few questions we had. Property is close to the airport so expect airplane noise and there is no AC, great fans though. Really good value VRBO.

I was there shooting a wedding and just needed a place to stay for two nights. Close to the airport, cute, and quaint.

Wonderful little suite
Checkin was very easy and parking was private to the suite. We had our own patio which was basically private and located next to a treed reserve. The bath and bedroom were perfect in size for two people. The kitchen was very small and nowhere to sit and eat so we used the fantastic furniture located on the patio. The weather was so nice that we were able to eat all our meals under the covered patio. We moved the microwave to above the fridge for countertop space to prepare our meals. The kitchen was well equipped but we could have used a frying pan. Only one pot was available but it didn’t matter to us because we had brought our air fryer with us. The neighborhood was quiet but the only drawback was the unit is located right next to the SeaTac airport and right above flyway lanes. It took a couple days to get used to the aircraft arrivals and departures. The unit was extremely clean and located very close to the Sound Train system which we used every day to get around Seattle. We had a great time!

Loved the outdoor table to enjoy our breakfasts before getting it for the day. The little folding tables were useful to set in between the beds to have as a bedside table, everything was very efficient and will thought out. Two small suggestions - make a note about where to find bowls under the sink ( we didn't find them at first), and have a way to turn off the motion detecting light in the kitchen. Our first night there it was activated a few times in the night, until we figure out how to cover it up. Overall a very nice stay, thank you!
