We absolutely loved the carriage house. we stayed for a month and it flew by. everything was so functional and beautiful and amazing quality. The kitchen is fully stocked and has high-end everything. Though the apt is small, there is TONS of smart storage everywhere. That combined with the high ceilings make it feel very spacious. The bed is super comfortable, and all the bed linens and pillows are super high quality (and pretty :)). Though if you are a super tall person (over 6'2 probably) you might not love the loft bed. my partner is 6' and it was doable for him. but any taller and you might feel a little squished. I was working from home for the entirety of our stay- on zoom calls all day and managing super large files digitally- their super-strong & fast wifi made that a breeze. Also, the little patio area is so sweet and the perfect way to start or end the day. The view of the mountains is gorgeous.
Tory and Adam were so kind and accommodating. Anytime we had a question or needed support, they replied/ resolved it immediately. The apt is above their garage, which is detached from their home- but on the same property- so they are right there if you need anything. They let us have mail delivered, which was a really kind gesture considering close to christmas and a pandemic on! Oh my gosh- almost forgot the wine they gifted us - so delish!
The neighborhood is adorable and very spacious for nice walks or runs. It's super quiet and friendly- with tons of trees and mostly houses (vs. apt complexes, etc.). we didn't have a car for most of our time and you really don't need it! tons of parks and trails very close by. you can walk to LOTS of shopping and grocery and restaurant options in 5-15 minutes. Ballard is about a 30-minute walk (5-7 min drive) with tons of cute restaurants and shops and a really great farmers market. There's a great family-owned convenience right down the corner that has a great craft beer selection, and lighthouse coffee is right up the hill.
This place really has it all and honestly so grateful for the chance to stay here. The month long discount put it in our price range and was a great fit for us while we transitioned from nyc to a permanent place here in seattle ... would also be great for a nice long weekend with a small family, or long term stay for a single/couple.
