We have rented some very nice homes over the past dozen years for our annual family reunions, but The Villa stands out among the best of them. And equally special was Hamy’s attention to our requests, usually responding within minutes. He went out of his way to accommodate us. We would not hesitate to return should our future travels take us to the Seattle area.
The house itself is on a quiet culdesac. It is just a few miles as the crow flies and only 15 minutes by car from SeaTac airport and even closer to Boeing Field. A supermarket/gas station is just a mile away. Downtown Seattle is perhaps 20 minutes depending on traffic. The beautiful Kubota Gardens are free and were only a few minutes away.
The house was very clean and had plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and other. The layout was very convenient and spacious. The four full baths made it possible for our four families to each have private facilities.
What set this home apart were its luxury ambience, the high-end finishes, including beautiful hardwood floors, and the furniture. The foam-mattress beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was upscale and equipped with solid surface counters, a bar with four stools, an induction cooktop, a large French-door frig with two freezer compartments, stainless steel farm sink, and a quiet dishwasher. There was adequate cooking hardware (we bought a jumbo skillet from Costco due to our group size which we needed at home anyway) and the dinnerware and tableware were very nice. The dining table sat eight comfortably and made a great space for games between meals. The gathering areas were equipped with comfortable leather sofas (the one in the TV lounge reclined) and chairs.
The game room with foosball and air hockey caused our grandkids to disappear quite often, and we (including yours truly, Papa) played 3-on-3 basketball at the outdoor hoop across the street.
The rear covered patio was superb: professional grill, wicker seating group, 2 chaise lounges, and two folding tables with 12 chairs we used for a family meal. I enjoyed my coffee every morning out their and we enjoyed some late-night talks there as well.
A special perk Hamy provided for us was the Keurig complete with plenty of coffee. We brewed coffee everyday and still had several containers left over at the end of the week.
Thanks, Hamy, for providing a special place for our family reunion!
