This house is in a great neighborhood, in walking distance to grocery stores, bars and restaurants.

Prospective renters should know the following when considering if this house is right for you:

The capacity is not 10 adults and there are not 5 proper beds. Maybe you could make it work with 10 if there are small children. There are 3 queen beds (2 in bedrooms upstairs, 1 in basement). There are 2 couches (no pull out mattresses) and a futon (that was stuck in the couch position).

Additionally, you are allowed ONE small bag of trash for the duration of your stay. Be prepared to make your own arrangements to dispose of any additional bags, or you will pay extra fees to the owner. We were not made aware of the trash bag limitation until we had already returned home - and then the owner submitted a claim for additional money for the disposal. The rules will probably now be updated to communicate this to future guests.

After reading other comments about all the house rules, we were careful to abide. This is a lovely house and the owner has rules in place to keep it that way. That said, we have rented other vacation properties and have never experienced the anxiety that we had when staying in this house. Make sure you and your travel companions read all the rules - maybe even twice.

When we arrived, we were able to gain entry to the house through the lock box without any problems. Guests can park one car on the street with the parking permit - but this is a popular neighborhood so you may circle around the block a few times to find a spot. The fridge was not cleaned out when we arrived; we did not mind the prior tenants' food in there, but some renters might. There were old top pot donut boxes left over from the previous guests which they were using to prop up the windows for ventilation. Fans are provided, but there is no A/C (common for Seattle), so take that into consideration if you are coming during a warm period.

The bathrooms are updated and clean, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with dishware and utensils. There is a tiny room squished between the two bedrooms upstairs where there is enough space for a futon. You'll find a powder room on the main floor, along with the family room, formal dining area, kitchen, and kitchen nook. The nook was unusable during our stay due to large cardboard boxes being stored on the bench seats. The finished basement has a full bathroom, queen bed, and couch. We appreciated that we had sufficient linens during our stay. There is also a washer and dryer downstairs if needed.
