Our two families with toddlers had a wonderful stay at the Madison Park Family Home! The house is exactly as pictured, and actually a bit better. The ground floor is well laid out with a comfortable front room, central dining area and awesome kitchen and living room. The massive sectional couch was a great place for us to hang with the kids while enjoying Netflix and Sonos. The kitchen has literally anything you would need (popcorn maker was a nice touch) and the hosts went through the trouble to label every cupboard and drawer (helpful for the OCD in me!). The family room opens up directly into a spacious backyard that has plenty of room for the kids to run around and even has a fun sandbox. One random oddity is the choice of book selection in the family room - lots of dense textbooks vs. the typical JRR Tolkien or Michael Crichton.
Upstairs, we got to stay in the spacious master BR which had a solid shower and large tub. We used the smaller room next door for our 2 year old while our friends used the back guest room which was next to a room w/ bunk bens for their twin boys. They had their own full bath and we never felt crowded. There's plenty of space. There is also a washer dryer on site which was suuuuuper helpful.
This was our first time to Seattle and we got lucky with sunshine and warm weather. The Madison Park area has a charming "Main Street" area that's about a 10 min stroll from the house. The Main Street has a few coffee shops, a local grocer, brunch spot, and a nice little park with jungle gym and swings. One note of warning - the baristas at the coffee joint can be a little ornery so I recommend you have your order ready when you get to the front and watch out where you line up (next to the pastry case!). A little further down the main street, you get to a small park that opens up on to Lake Washington. The morning I went, the weather was perfect with sunshine and a few folks heading out on Stand Up Paddleboards (jealous!).
Interacting with host Jenny was a breeze - she was super communicative and helpful. She also left out a small binder with tips on the neighborhood. Thanks Jenny!
Two thumbs way up for the Madison Park Family Home! I highly recommend for anyone with a family who is considering a stay in Seattle!
