About this property

One-bedroom House and Patio all to yourself in a Great Location

Back on VRBO after a couple of years off, we are delighted to welcome guests again at the Phinney Ridge Bungalow.

This fully renovated, charming one-bedroom bungalow is in a quiet, residential neighborhood. You'll have the whole house and large patio all to yourself. The convenient location puts you close to downtown and many of Seattle's great neighborhoods.

Whether in Seattle for pleasure or for business, we hope you will enjoy your stay on Phinney Ridge. The central location is ideal for exploring all that Seattle has to offer. Depending upon which direction you walk, drive, bus or take a ride-share service, you will find tourist destinations, business centers, restaurants of all styles, lovely parks, grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries and a wide variety of shopping nearby in the Phinney Ridge, Greenwood, Wallingford, Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods. Travelers can easily reach the business centers of South Lake Union and Downtown.

There is plenty of on-street parking right out front and several bus stops within blocks. Bus route 5 runs north/south, route 44 runs east/west. Downtown, Seattle Center, South Lake Union and the University District are all just 10 minutes away by car.

The house features hardwood floors, lots of light, new kitchen and bathroom, and lovely furnishings. The large flagstone patio and garden out front has a table for four and a couple of adirondack chairs. It is perfect for morning coffee, meals or lounging. A lovely home away from home while you are in Seattle.

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed. It also features a large closet with a built-in dresser and full-length mirrors on the doors. The high quality sleeper sofa (no hide-a-bed bars here) in the living room pulls out to a comfy queen-sized bed. There is a selection of extra pillows and bedding so that you can find just the right combination for a good night's rest. Blackout shades throughout the house provide plenty of excuses for sleeping in whether you are in the bedroom or on the sleeper sofa. All sheets are high thread count and 100% cotton.

The fully-equipped kitchen with dining nook has stainless steel appliances, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, hand mixer as well as all the dishes, pots, pans and utensils you will need. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are provided.

The bathroom includes a new shower with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, as well as hand soap, lotion, hair dryer and plenty of plush towels. Terrycloth robes are also provided.

Fast fiber-optic WiFi will keep you connected. Basic cable and Netflix are provided. Any subscription services that you have can be streamed on the high-definition 40” TV.

There is washer and dryer, ironing board and iron on-site. We provide laundry soap, stain remover and dryer sheets.

This home also has a contactless check-in procedure that will be emailed to you the week of your arrival.

Once here, you can explore. Phinney Ridge and Greenwood have the Woodland Park Zoo (only three blocks away), wonderful restaurants, specialty stores and parks within walking distance. Ballard, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Seattle with shopping and some of the city’s finest restaurants, is just down the hill. From there, visit the Ballard Locks to watch the salmon jump up the fish ladders. Keep going and you will find Golden Gardens, one of the most popular beaches in town. Fremont is even closer with lots of shops and restaurants and its famous Bridge Troll. Green Lake, which features a beautiful 2.8 mile running/walking path, boat rentals and a community center, is a short drive or a long walk through the lovely Woodland Park. Wallingford is 1 mile away and you will only be 2 miles from the University District. Downtown, Seattle Center and South Lake Union are all a short car or bus ride away.

Your hosts live nearby and will respect your privacy, but they’re also just a text or phone call away should you have any questions or need anything.

Comfortable home away from home

We really enjoyed staying here while in Seattle. The house was nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed walking around the nice Phinney Ridge neighborhood and looking at all the craftsman style and brick houses. We also enjoyed walking around Green Lake park, which is only about a block away. Plenty of on street parking. And, best of all, the host was super helpful with any questions we had and she makes the best chocolate chip cookies. I would love to stay here again when I’m back in Seattle.

Beautiful sanctuary

My mother-in-law stayed in Alexa's beautiful cottage and LOVED it. She was as cozy and comfortable as she could be, with everything she needed provided, as well as other thoughtful details. The wonderful homemade cookies that greeted her upon arrival were the "icing on the cake!"

Perfect!

Alexa is the best hostess. We needed a few extra days at the beginning of our trip and she was able to accommodate us with no issues. This house is beautiful, all brand new, and is close to everything. This house has everything you need. Just bring your suitcase. Clean and very comfortable. The bed is very comfortable and our son said the pull out couch was comfortable. Thank you Alexa. Hope to stay again soon.

Quiet, peaceful, well appointed cottage.

We were in town to visit the kids and the new grandson. Phinney Ridge Bungalow turned out to be the perfect spot in the perfect location for our stay. The cottage has been beautifully restored. Hardwood floors and exposed beams. The kitchen layout is very practical and functional. All the pots and pans and dishes you would need to make a small meal or a big feast. The table, bench and built in bookcase was a nice place to sit and eat our meals. Spices in the cupboard in case you want to do some cooking. There were also the thoughtful touches. Coffee, half and half and butter in the fridge so we didn't have to run out to the store the first morning. Cookie jar filled with home made chocolate chip cookies. Alexa is a great hostess and we can highly recommend her and her bungalow. We'll be staying there again on our next trip to Seattle. Pete & Liz Leucadia, CA.

Excellent house - awesome owner!

This house and owner are gems! The house has been completely remodeled and is so beautiful. Alexa (the owner) has furnished it with absolutely everything you need (down to every last detail). We went hiking, went to the zoo (which you can walk to) and had a big Thanksgiving dinner there. It is in such a great location to do all of the fun stuff Seattle has to offer. Alexa is a fantastic owner, great communicator and really nice to work with. We will definitely visit again and again!
