UW/Ravenna 1 BR Charmer, close Light Rail
I stayed here with my boyfriend for a month and we had such a great time! Betsy was a fantastic host. She was very responsive, helpful, and kind. The place clean and had everything we could possibly need. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you!!

Stylish Kirkland Getaway Awaits You!
Walkable distance to downtown Kirkland where many restaurants and shops are located, but yet it is a quiet and private neighborhood. We like our stay in Gina’s place. Thank you.

Light Filled Apartment in a Walkers Paradise
Great host, everything as described. There’s a machine to make sparkling water and a laundry room. Highly recommend. The only thing worth knowing is that the host lives upstairs from this apartment so hosting a loud party is not an option. Otherwise this is as good as it gets.

Modern Industrial Fremont Studio
Great spot to spend a long weekend in. Had the hex team feeling right at home.

Elegant Top Floor Apartment with View and Parking
Delightfully clean, within easy walk of D-bus RapidRide to/from downtown and Ballard. Magnificent view of lit-up Magnolia neighborhood at night. Alex's team was responsive and proactive and friendly throughout. I hope to come back and stay again sometime. Thanks, folks!

Cloud Canopy
Incredible is an understatement, both the host and place gave me such a good welcome and experience of Seattle that I almost didn’t want to come back home. Everything from the window view, proximity and warm energy made my stay such a beautiful experience. Staying here is top must especially if it’s your first time!

Montlake Apt 3 blocks from UW Light Rail & Hosp.
We hit the jackpot with this stay. My father in law was at UWMC and Debbie’s beautiful home was blocks away. We did not need to rent a car. Took the light rail from SeaTac to University station and walked to and from the hospital. Debbie was an excellent host. Very responsive to my communication and made us feel at home. The apartment is beautiful. Had all the amenities of home. I definitely recommend!

At Mine - Prime Apartment in Seattle Downtown
Overall really enjoyed my stay at this Airbnb. In a great location, near pike place market + 1st Ave and the price was very competitive. The hosts were really responsive and kind. They have a great bag holding system as well, although I didn’t end up using. There was the occasional loud neighbor and some street/ building noises, but to be expected for the area. I’m a light sleeper, and was able to fall asleep without the use of earplugs (which are nicely provided ). Overall I enjoyed my stay and had no real inconveniences or incidents occur and if I’m in the Seattle area again will try and book here again.

Minutes Walk to Ballard Ave!
I love staying at Sam’s when I visit my son in Ballard! He is very communicative, accommodating and generous. The location is very convenient to Fremont and Ballard, and any other locations up north. Having parking and laundry is wonderful, especially when it rains during the stay. It is my go-to spot when I’m on my own and feel very safe in this area. I will be staying again soon!

New Modern Apartment in Ballard
Went to Ballard to visit friends and work remotely for a week. Seeing as there are only two hotels in the Ballard area, Airbnb was the way to go. G's unit is perfect for one or two people to stay. The unit is within a short walking distance of so many things, including Trader Joe's and LA Fitness, and a 15-20 minute walk of everything Ballard has to offer in shopping, bars, and restaurants. The area is still being developed, but I always felt safe walking around at night. G was very helpful when there were minor issues with the air conditioning unit and was kind enough to let me drop off my luggage before check-in. A+!

Studio Sanctuary in Seattle
The neighborhood was quiet and was easy to get around with walking. The rental was superb. It was easy to access and I always felt like I had plenty of privacy. Tracy responded quickly to an issue I had and got it fixed ASAP. I would gladly recommend this rental and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Garden studio in Ballard
Our stay here was lovely! The space is comfortable and cozy and the location was ideal for everything we were looking for both locally and around. The furnishings were also cute and clean. Emily and Hank leave detailed and clear instructions making for an easy experience and are very friendly as well. 10/10 would definitely recommend! Thank you!

2 King Modern Suite w/ AC and Fenced Yard
The perfect place to land for a trip in Seattle. Everything you could want and more. Easy parking, perfect amenities and so peaceful.

Charming apartment close to beach
This was a cozy place to stay for the weekend in Seattle! Close to nice restaurants and the farmer’s market in Ballard. Very nice host and nice, quiet neighborhood.

Craftsman home~ Close to Light Rail, UW, U-Village
One of our best Airbnb stays, worth the spend! 3 of us had a very comfortable stay. It is 5 minutes walk away from the Roosevelt station - we took the train to all locations, including using it for our commute from airport to the home. Saved us a good amount of money and effort having to figure out. Wynia is a wonderful host. Provided a ton of stuff - including freshly ground coffee and a few other custom stuff we requested for. Kitchen is brilliantly equipped. We shopped at wholefoods nearby for food stuff. Also next door are car rental services that we used to drive in Seattle. Hope to be back someday!

Phinney Ridge Apartment
Great place to stay! The location is super - super walkable up to Phinney ridge & Greenwood, as well as down to green Lake. The apartment was comfortable with everything we needed. Thank you!
Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Apt. W/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit, and BBQ
We had a fabulous stay at Max’s place. It was exactly as described. Place was cozy, clean and convenient! It was a great location within minutes of so many great attractions. Max was so attentive and friendly. The bed in bedroom was so comfortable. Hot tub and spike ball were a bonus for our kids. We loved our stay!

Taylor's Water View
The location was great. The condo was very nice, everything we needed. Great restaurants and bars all in walking distance. Deana was always available. Definitely recommend this place!

Odin's Peaceful Lake View 2 Bdr Upper Cottage
Everything was great. John was very responsive and a gracious host. Even brought over some of his freshly picked cherries for us. Great view of Lake Washington and area was quiet. Lots of amenities in the unit for us. Only issue we had was the high bathtub. Two of us have knee issues and it was hard to get into the high sided tub/shower. The tub is also slippery so maybe some safety strips or a grab bar inside the shower would help? And maybe some handrails on the outside of the house? Us older people appreciate things like that. Loved being able to stroll through your beautiful garden. Other than that, overall it was a nice place to stay. Short drive to the light rail station was a plus too. We took the ride into downtown twice by train. We felt very comfortable staying here. Enjoyed talking to both owners.

2 Floor Downtown Condo Waterview Penthouse
What a great place. Right in the middle of belltown with lots to do great restaurants and several concert venues. the view is excellent and the place is very comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Ben again.

Bright Condo in Downtown with Free Parking
Ken’s place was the perfect stay for us! The location was fantastic—we were able to keep our car parked in the locked, secure garage all weekend and was able to walk to pike’s place and the space needle easily. We loved how safe and secure the building was. Ken did a walk through with us to show us the amenities and made us feel welcomed. Would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in Seattle!

Belltown Court Penthouse
An amazing place

The Perch in Cap Hill with hot tub near UW, buses
One of the most comfortable places we've stayed in! It seemed like a lot of thought had been put into the organization of the kitchen and the guidebook, and things were labeled well. There was a nice bidet for the toilet, and I personally enjoyed the forest green aesthetic of the bathroom. Thank you Kevin, for a great week-long stay!

Waterfront Getaway Condo | Pike Place | Pier 66
This is a plush, luxurious place right on the waterfront and steps from the new Overlook Walk that connects Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle with Elliott Bay. It’s a terrific location with all the comforts. Quiet and safe. Great spot!
