Urban Woodland Retreat, Near the ~UW~, Convenient to Everything

You will be delighted as you descend from street level in a quiet family neighborhood to your garden-level suite opening onto a mature wooded greenbelt along the popular Burke-Gilman trail. You will open your private entrance to find a lovely, roomy apartment, providing two comfortable bedrooms. You'll have to decide whether to sink into the comfortable sofa to enjoy the big screen TV with cable, cozy up before the floor to ceiling windows to drink in the serene view of trees, birds and Lake Washington in the distance, or cook a gourmet meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Your guests will relax and chat at the bar while you create, then you can share your bounty at the dining table. You may choose to barbecue outdoors and dine al fresco on your private deck, patio or around the crackling fire-pit.

The first bedroom has a king size bed, huge closet and wall-mounted TV. The second bedroom has an inviting queen size bed, convenient storage and a large window looking out on the wooded garden. This bedroom adjoins the full bathroom with tub and shower, separate vanity with plenty of storage.

You have your own laundry room, complete with front loader, high efficiency washer and dryer. Your suite will always be comfortable, with natural gas heat and central air conditioning. You will enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room. You and your family will always feel safe with your own security system.

Your guest suite is your home away from home, secluded-feeling but minutes away from all the amenities and activities you could want. You have your own covered parking spot steps from the stairway that takes you down three levels to your urban oasis. You will find easy street parking in the uncrowded neighborhood. You are steps away from public transportation, taking the Metro bus to the University District, Seattle Center, Northgate, Ballard or downtown in minutes. The bus will also take you to the University Station for light rail to downtown, the sports stadium area and Sea-Tac airport. You can hop on the Burke-Gilman trail for a walk, run or bike trip to Magnuson Park, University Village, the University of Washington campus, or points beyond.

Special note: We have recently completed the second unit in our home for rental, now available! Please check out VRBO #3930539, https://www.vrbo.com/3930539, if you need space for more guests.

Amazing stay

We had an amazing stay at Ron’s place. He is one of if not the most attentive and thoughtful vrbo hosts. The placed was stocked with everything we needed and then some. Ron and his wife even took time to clean off the high chair they let us borrow for our little one. The place is nice and cozy in a very safe neighborhood. Highly recommend this place

Wow, this place is amazing. Ron, the owner, takes great pride in creating a welcoming environment both inside and out. The bathroom and kitchen were thoughtfully stocked, the fire pit and s'mores kit are a great touch, and the mature plants on the patio are divine!

Wonderful experience!

Upon arrival, Ron met us and gave a walk through of the location. Everything was clean, updated, and well stocked with everything we could need. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, no worries with finding parking, and there was a trail within walking distance. Kid friendly as well. We would definitely rent again!

Delightful!

We loved everything about our 3 week stay in this unit. Exceptionally clean with comfortable furniture and every item a traveler might need. The yard is beautifully landscaped and lovely to behold from both inside and out. Ron is a wonderful host who makes you feel more like a house guest than a renter. We hope to make this our home away from home on future visits to Seattle.

Very pleasant surroundings

After exploring Seattle, we wanted an alternate experience. That is exactly what we got, spending a rainy day reading in the woodsy environment and another exploring the U of W campus on Lime bicycles (gorgeous campus!). Precisely the way to wind down our Pacific NW trip! Jim and Barb

The neighborhood is very nice, calm, safe, family-friendly, and in very convenient location. We were happy with everything from start to end, thanks to Ron's professionalism.

My home away from home!

I needed to spend 5 weeks in Seattle to receive treatments at U of W hospital. The amount of attention Ron put in to making his VRBO feel welcoming, cozy, clean, and comfortable helped my mindset tremendously! He was so flexible with all of my care team coming and going, and for that I am so grateful! The location could not have been better! Loved the trail nearby and felt so safe! I will definitely be using this location again anytime I need to return to Seattle for medical treatment.

This is our second time staying here - and we loved it just as much the second time as the first. The location next to the Burke Gilman trail allowed us to cheer on the half marathoners from the backyard - we were there to watch our daughter run the race. Everything has been considered and is impeccably kept. Thank you for another lovely stay.

This place was over the top clean and well appointed. It lacked for nothing. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. We would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. One caveat, there are a lot of stairs to the lower unit so anyone with mobility issues might be challenged.

Green Seattle Gem

We loved staying at Ron’s condo for a week. It had everything we needed with a great floor plan. Felt very private but close to everything in NE Seattle- UW, Children’s Hospital, University Village, lots of parks and great neighborhood restaurants. The back yard area was an extra bonus and we had enough nice weather to enjoy the grill and firepit a few times. You can tell the owner really cares for his property and his guests. Truly a perfect experience and I will definitely stay here again when I’m in town.

Just what we needed

Three family members (my sister, her husband and I) stayed during our brother's hospitalization at the UW. It was a peaceful place to return to each evening. Ron was a gracious host and the apartment was so well-equipped and immaculate. We are all 60+ and for some the access stairs might be an issue, but we were fine. The privacy of the yard provided a haven of beauty.

Definitely the cleanest rental we’ve ever experienced. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s backed up to a trail. Very close in proximity to Husky Stadium. Unit is on the ground floor of a three story, top floor is street level so there are steps to go down. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Aloha!

Best girls trip

First time in Seattle and it could not have been better. We loved the home and the neighborhood we were in. The house is beautiful and so relaxing. The outdoor space is stunning and it backs up to a great trail. We didnt have time to go on the trail next time, but plan to be back. One friend decided this area is where she wants to move to next. The house feels very zen, from beautiful side tables to the art on the walls. The beds were so comfortable and we all loved the pillows. Everyone wished we had more time to spend. One of the best VRBO's I have stayed at Crystal
