We have stayed at a couple of the owner’s properties in Seattle and this was our favorite. Great quiet, walkable neighborhood with ample parking. Close to amenities within city. Beds are very comfortable - You could sleep for days.

Liked: Cleanliness
Good location. My wife and I are old. Lots of stairs and bathroom on 2nd floor make it difficult for us. Air conditioner was loud - hence earplugs in the bathroom?😉. Owner was nice and Mighty O’s doughnuts are great. We played a round of Pitch and Putt which was fun.

Great location, close to the lake, surroundings were beautiful. Inside the house very good, I like the order and cleanliness. I just was a little worry of what exactly the noise restrictions levels were.

Great stay, clean and well maintained, close to UW

Great stay! Beautiful place, clean and well maintained. 2 adults and 2 adult children, was tight but worked out well. Loved our stay and would stay again in a heartbeat! Was a quick drive to UW campus and loved the restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Beautiful neighborhood and felt safe!

Vince was such a fantastic host - even after I goofed up the check out date. Could not recommend him and the Birdhouse more. The place was beautiful, clean, and in an amazing location! The perfect place to stay for me and my family! Will absolutely book again.

The only think we didn't like was the parking, so we would suggest the owner of the property make the parking space in front of the garage door available to guests. Thanks!
