Luxury Loft @ Matthews Beach Seattle
We’ve stayed at Mike’s place several times over the years and never had a bad stay. The loft is a perfect peaceful setting that is close to amenities but also has the setup that you don’t need to leave if you want the night in.

Clean and spacious home away from home!
This home is very clean and well-ordered, with extra pillows and plenty of towels. Water got nice and hot and heater worked well when needed. Kitchen is stocked with most of the basic utensils you would need to fix a meal, and there is a large refrigerator and an electric stove. The washroom has a washer and dryer and the basic supplies that you need. There is a hairdryer in the bathroom. The wi-fi is reliable. The neighborhood was really nice too, quiet and very pretty to stroll around. We found a grocery store within about a mile walking distance, which is convenient. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and feel confident in recommending this home.

Alki Beach Apartment, Near Downtown Seattle
SUCH a great place!! so cute and close to the beach!! so perfect I wish I could stay forever! had such a great time I will never forget about this place.

One Bedroom Apartment at Climate Pledge Arena
The location was perfect and the amenities suited our needs. The only thing I would say is that if you’re driving, and it happens to be an event day as it was for us, be prepared to pay $106 for 24 hours of parking. Less on non-event days.

Hidden Sanctuary Seattle Airport/LightRail 1BR APT
One of the best airbnb stays I have ever had in my travel journey. Very clean and matches the description mentioned in the listing. Comfortable bed. Wireless charger at the bedside was a game-changer. Bathroom is elegant, good amenities with a bathroom-laundry combo. I also liked the lighting features where you could control the brightness. Beautiful and well-maintained backyard. Lot of restaurants within a short driving distance. Extremely close to the SeaTac rental car facility/airport. Would definitely stay at this place if I ever plan to visit Seattle again. Highly recommend!!

At Mine - Studio Apartment In Seattle.
The place is nice and clean, pretty convenient and walking distance to different places in downtown. The hosts are nice as well, they proactively ask if there's anything we need, are very helpful when it comes to storing our luggages and are considerate with our check in and check out times. Overall a good place to stay in my 1 week in Seattle.

Montlake Apt 3 blocks from UW Light Rail & Hosp.
Debbie's basement unit is our go to spot when visiting family in Seattle. It is clean, cozy, convenient, and a great value for the space. The unit has everything you'll need for a short or extended stay and is within walking distance to the light rail which makes it easy to get around town even without a vehicle. Debbie is an excellent host - friendly and always responsive to any questions or concerns we may have. We would definitely recommend her home.

Gorgeous Garden Getaway, Near Cafes, Parks
Heather’s space was perfect for a weekend getaway to Seattle with our dog. We often have to sacrifice comfort and style for the convenience of a pet-friendly place, but Heather’s place had all 3 and more. It was well appointed and well decorated with everything we needed away from home, including a very comfortable couch and bed, and a beautiful bathroom, and a well stocked kitchen. We loved all the books and local recommendations. Most importantly, our pup felt very comfortable and right at home. We are so glad to have stayed here and can’t wait to return!

Cozy Retreat +Spacious Private Spa Experience
The unit is as pictured and described - a basement unit with lower ceilings, exposed ductwork. Hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is spectacular.

Cozy 1 Bedroom Apt Near Children’s Hospital and UW
Our stay at Katya’s place in Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle was great. The unit was in great condition and was very well outfitted with everything that any guest would need. We were greeted with a very nice note from Katya welcoming us to Seattle along with freshly baked danish rolls, which was so kind. And she provided additional towels and supplies for our dog, which was very helpful considering rainy Seattle weather during our visit. We would certainly recommend this unit to others and hope to stay there again in the future.

Thank you Mike and family! We had a lovely stay and everything perfect as always. I will try to stop bringing crazy weather with me lol

Great spot! Awesome, clean condo, lots of attractions within walking distance. Great views and an overall very great experience. Deana was very responsive and helpful. Recommended!

2 Floor Downtown Condo Waterview Penthouse
Super amazing host!! Helped us out so much and had a very clean and nice place. It does get a little loud outside at night on the weekend but I would still stay there again next time I come.

Bright Condo in Downtown with Free Parking
Ken was easy to contact and more than willing to answer any questions we had. The location was also great for walking around Seattle.

Urban Gem: Block to Pike Place Market
This Airbnb was perfect for my time in Seattle. The building felt very safe and Olga was available for anything I needed. The bed was so comfy and the room was very cozy. Kitchen had all the essentials I needed for cooking. Washer and Dryer was super convenient for laundry I had piled up. Location is superrrr convenient with Target right downstairs and Pike Place Market right around the corner. Though it’s in a busy area, noise is not an issue. Would absolutely stay here again.

The Perch in Cap Hill with hot tub near UW, buses
The Hot tub was amazing. The spot is amazing, the pictures online do not do it justice, it was way bigger than I expected.

Downtown Seattle, Waterfront Condo (2 bedroom)
This property is in excellent condition and is at a great location. The owner is great and easy to communicate with and responds very quickly as well. I will be traveling in this area next year and hope that this property is available as we would love to stay there again. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay close to the Seattle pier area and Pike Place Market. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Outdoor Sauna & Soaking Tub, Top Floor Apartment
This home is gorgeous! In a beautiful neighborhood very walkable to many restaurants and a coffee shop is right at the end of the road. It was a lovely community and very safe. About a 15 minute uber to the main spots of Seattle. The home was fully stocked with all the necessities and comforts of home and had lots of special touches. Host is incredibly helpful and responsive. The place was immaculately clean. Views from the living room were an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again!

Mercer Island Private Apartment Pets Welcome
We stayed for two nights with our dog! Tom even had a water bowl out for her. Great central location for Mercer Island.
