First of all, what a great location! Close to everything in Fremont and Wallingford. Gasworks park is a short walk away and we loved it. The basement apt was well equipped and had everything we needed The price was also fantastic.

We're only giving this a 3 star rating because of a few negatives. First, being a basement apt you could hear every move of the tenants upstairs. Joyce (owner) was very quiet but when there were other renters above us the noise was a bit too much. Second, upon arrival the apt was dirty. Not Joyce's fault, but it appeared their cleaners did a very poor job and it was not checked/inspected before we arrived. Lastly, a few days before our arrival the host contacted us and requested to "rent back" the unit for one weekend of our 3 week stay because of family emergency. Our only options were to vacate the apt or have our entire reservation cancelled (which would have left us with no where to stay and very little options given how busy Seattle summer season is). It all worked out, but this was unwanted stress, not an ideal situation, and not something I'd expect to happen if you are running a "business" of renting your home and apt.

I would think this would be perfect for a quick weekend getaway, but for a longer stay like our (3+ weeks) I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
