Our neighborhood is essentially a single-family-home hilly cul-de-sac, so it’s very private and safe. It is great for walking, with good lighting and sidewalks, beautiful landscaped yards and views of lake and mountains along the way. You will see all different styles of houses, from early 1920’s to Modern, from middle class family homes to waterfront mansions. There are a lot of excellent dining options in Northeast Seattle and University Village, and there are several parks and outdoor nature areas nearby. We are just a short walk to the Laurelhurst Park, which has a round 1.2 mile loop trail walk, tennis courts, playground, sports fields, beautiful mature trees and Community Center; Union Bay Nature Area which has several trails with views of Lake Washington and great bird and possibly animal viewing; and the Yesler Swamp with its recently constructed boardwalk to explore a marshy area where birds and beavers live. There is plenty of free, unmetered street parking, so having your own car is a good option. In addition, there are several buses nearby. However, please note that the neighborhood is quite hilly and walking to and from the bus stops tends to be up and down hills. We are about 0.5 miles from Children’s Hospital and it’s an easy flat 10 minute walk. Walking or Uber or Lyft might be good options to the UW Husky Stadium and the Light Rail station which can take you further - to Downtown, International District or the airport.  There are two busses just two blocks away which you can take to the U District and it's Light Rail station in less than 5 minutes. Uber Jump and Lime Bikes with sun-powered electric assists are parked throughout the neighborhood. You can drive to Downtown Seattle in about 20 minutes, depending on the traffic (unless it’s rush hour).

Cozy 1 Bedroom Apt Near Children’s Hospital and UW

Our host has provided an immaculate, peaceful, well ordered beautiful space with attention to details both inside and out. My husband and I arrived after dark to a well lit patio entrance. Upon entering we were met with a beautifully lit indoor space and peaceful music playing. The choice of fabric color schemes and tastefully done artwork added to the charm of this garden apartment and everywhere was impeccably clean. In the kitchen fresh oranges, cinnamon rolls, and other items for a simple breakfast with everything that we needed to enjoy a pleasant coffee was provided. Another thing that I found extremely helpful was the organization of the kitchen, with clearly labeled shelves and drawers, making it so easy to locate items quickly, there was also a binder in the kitchen that had manuals for every single appliance, TV, and various other instructions. I found this extremely helpful and streamlined our ability to use all the amenities. Katya is an exceptional communicator. From leaving a personalized hand written note upon our arrival, periodically, checking via messaging to make sure our stay was going well, and prompt responses when we had basic questions. Katya went above and beyond in every way to make our stay an amazing experience. Also the bed was extremely comfortable, with high quality linens and at night there were soft light sensors at the floor level to aid in night time safety. Book your stay here and be ready for a wonderful experience!

Beautiful Inside and Out

This property is exactly as described, but there are a couple of standouts features worth mentioning. The house is immaculately clean, well appointed and extremely comfortable. But the best thing was the communication with the host and the clear effort to insure a positive experience. I'm quite confident we will be back in the future.

Seattle Delight

We had a great stay with our dog at Katya’s home! We were welcomed with home baked goods, bowls and extra towels for our dog, and a very clean space. We had everything we needed for our short Seattle stay. I really cannot overstate how nice it was to be in a home and neighborhood that was 100% dog friendly! :)

Seattle Getaway

I have stayed at many Airbnb's and can say that there are very few where the hosts are as hospitable as Katya. The place is beautiful, the neighborhood gorgeous, and there was a tremendous amount of attention to detail to make this a perfect stay.

Family Visit to Children's

Katya’s place was immaculate. It was one of the most comfortable Air Bnbs that we’ve stayed. Katya had baked goods and snacks waiting for us, along with our dog. The apartment was clean and had all the amenities we needed if we forgot anything. The heated floor in the bathroom was nice, that’s something that I didn’t know I needed it until I experienced it. Once you’re inside place, you couldn’t tell that Katya and her family lived on the floor above. We also got to enjoy access to own private patio that’s surrounded by beautiful plants. The place was private and the neighborhood was quiet. We stayed here to visit our daughter who is currently attending UW and It was close to campus so we didn’t have to waste time in traffic. Katya was communicative and checked in with us to see if we needed anything while we were there. We loved it and will definitely be staying there again and bringing our dog.
