Great location, issue with lock & check in
Great spot, neighbors above a bit loud but as a woman checking in alone at night it was very stressful. 1) Street is very dark, hard to see house numbers 2) path to back unit is poor lit, 3) no lights in backyard so very hard to open door in complete darkness 4) door is very cumbersome to open and close

Nice place but could be perfect with a few improvements
Most of the reviews rave about this place but there are areas which need attention to live up to those rating in my opinion. Pros- nice deck, comfy beds, great kitchen Cons: - no parking and street parking isn’t easy. - no shades/blinds on sliding glass doors in main room= very warm blinding sun in afternoon - walkway lighting not working= hard to see steps at night. - 2nd bedroom has tiny sliding windows near ceiling which doesn’t provide adequate ventilation unless you leave bedroom door open- ( A/C only in main room) One final comment- this is the first Seattle rental that did not provide decent coffee that this area is known for- which seems odd. Folgers is pretty much bottom of the barrel. This is an easy fix.

Great Kitchen Area
Easy place to cook and do some computer work. Beds and pillows were comfortable. I think this would be a problem for two couples because of the small bathroom area. I would probably be okay for a family of 3 or 4. My wife and I were happy with it. Crowded street parking was the only option and it can be tough to find a parking spot close by. The house is on a long hill, so carrying items in or out can be an issue.

Sasquatch is real
If you are in any way sensitive to noise / stomping overhead I cannot stress enough that you should close your browser tab immediately and look elsewhere. While the property is nice with good amenities (although some things could use a little elbow grease) the worst part of the entire experience is the passive-aggressive bozo of a neighbor upstairs. While they are home you will hear constant stomping across the entire unit at all hours of the day, even well into the night on a weekday. This is clearly a known issue as seen from multiple reviews left in the guest book and online. Management will play coy and 'reach out' to the upstairs tenant to no avail as it seems the neighbor has a personal vendetta against any downstairs renters. We had to leave early as attempting to work remotely from this location proved near impossible with how distracting it was, the best part is you will still get walloped with a large 'cleaning' fee on top of all this. Overall an extremely regrettable experience.

Very disappointed
I was unhappy with the document I received a few days before my stay which stated that the neighbors would be watching me and will be ready to call the police if needed. This made me feel uncomfortable the whole stay. Also, the bed was not king sized as advertised, which was very disappointing. The AC would not work for us, until the last day it suddenly started working. The location is great and the kitchen was nice, but I couldn't get over the feeling that someone was watching me. I would not recommend this place for anyone who values privacy.

Great view!
I found it ridiculous that we got reminded of their no smoking policy for smoking outdoors. Nothing in the listing or in the emails they sent (including requesting a copy of my license) mention anything about not smoking outside on the large patio. If you do not want people smoking outside, you should clearly call that out in your listing. I mentioned this in my response to the host, but they didn't bother to respond. Overall the place was nice, view from the patio is fantastic and we would stay here again. The neighborhood feels safe and very walkable to restaurants and coffee shops. That said, they definitely have some things they could improve. The toilet seat and toilet itself were loose. Several outlets were installed so poorly they have gaps between the cover plate and the drywall. The outlet to the left of the sink is broken/not installed properly causing it to be loose. Almost all of the recessed lights are installed so poorly you can see light coming out between the fixtures and the ceiling. You can't turn off the heated floor in the bathroom. The flooring was installed incorrectly as it has gaps between the floor and the wall. Kick plates not installed under the cabinets. Overall, someone did a very poor/shody job on this remodel. Also, the neighbors above move around quite loudly, you will hear them. One last thing which I find pretty gross, there was a Bard colon tube in the cabinet behind the mirror above the toilet.

Great stay!
Great stay and location to explore Fremont! Close to UW, as we were visiting our son there. Pictures and reviews are all accurate, beautiful property with all the amenities. Only a few “others” for the property. The fireplace not working/available was a bit of a disappointment, considering the cold rainy weather. The street parking can be difficult to find a spot at night/weekends. As noted in a previous review, the tenants upstairs walk around very heavy-footed, you’ll definitely hear them. But all of these were what we consider minor and didn’t over-shadow the wonderful weekend we had.

Great location and home
My husband and I were visiting Seattle for the first time and stayed in the Fremont neighborhood at the suggestion of a friend. We found this great property and we were so happy with both the accomodations and the location! The pictures online are accurate. It is a cute and cozy lower level unit, that feels completely open because if the full walkout to a gorgeous patio. The kitchen and bathroom are beautiful. Fremont was a very walkable neighborhood with tons of options for restaurants, breweries, activities and grocery. There were people walking everywhere. It felt safe and friendly. The communication from the property owners/manager was great. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
