Property details

Vintage Seattle gem centrally located to all the hottest neighborhoods. Our house, built in 1924, is situated on a quiet street in Westlake walkable to Downtown, Fremont, and Queen Anne and a quick ride to Ballard, Capitol Hill, and University. Three public transit lines pass right by to take you anywhere you want to go. There's an expansive shared deck great for grilling and lounging outside. This is the perfect place to relax as you explore all that Seattle has to offer. The entrance is numbered 2018 and is the rightmost door at the front of the house. There will be a set of stairs which will bring you up to your unit. You'll be staying on the top floor of a tri-unit building. We live right below and it's an old house, so you may hear us walking around at some point. Westlake is Seattle's smallest neighborhood located on the western shore of Lake Union. Our house is located on a quiet street off of Dexter Avenue and there are two sets of stairs that will lead you down to Westlake Avenue and the lakefront. Street parking is free and usually pretty easy to find within two blocks of the house. Watch out for fire hydrants which are painted green and often easy to miss. Ill be available if you need any help! Westlake is Seattle's smallest neighborhood located on the western shore of Lake Union. Our house is located on a quiet street off of Dexter Avenue and there are two sets of stairs that will lead you down to Westlake Avenue and the lakefront. Just steps away on Dexter you can find several local businesses. Lyon's Grocery is an excellent convenience store with delicious deli sandwiches. If you like boba, Tea King is a great option. The Toledo is a unique bar that also serves amazing flatbreads. And of course there's the Swedish Club which hosts various events throughout the week. If you enjoy kayaking or stand up paddle boarding, I would recommend the Northwest Outdoor Center. Three public transit lines, 40, 62, and RapidRide E line, have stations on Westlake, Dexter, and Aurora respectively. If you take public transportation, I would recommend getting the Transit Go app for tickets and use your phone's mapping app to find the best routes. If you enjoy walking (or biking), I would recommend taking a walk along the Cheshiahud trail along Lake Union toward Fremont or South Lake Union (SLU). Both are just a mile away via the trail. To get to Pike Place Market, walk to SLU and then south along Westlake Ave which has a lot of shopping and dining options. That will get you to Westlake Center at which point you can take a right on Pine street and the market will be straight ahead. Total walk to the market is about 2 miles.

The images online do not show the door lined with dirty leaves and peeling paint through which you enter, nor narrow stairway that has a loose railing and stairs in utter disrepair. At the top of the stairs you are greeted by a bedroom with scuffed walls and very broken blinds. The images of the bathroom do not show the rusted sink, peeling paint around the doorframe, or the bathroom cabinet with the missing knob. The kitchen and living room are much as they are pictured online, however, and those did appear as rooms that have aged but are kept relatively clean and in good repair. The listing indicates that the owner lives in the middle floor of this building, but I do not believe they ever responded to any of my concerns (including check in problems where the “correct” code being input causes red flashing lights and beeping before unlocking the door- perhaps the most confusing check in I have ever experienced). Instead, an “associate” politely responded to issues at first, then dropped off all contact and hasn’t been in touch to resolve the above issues.

The place was exactly as described! It was clean, comfortable, and the free street parking was easy to find. It’s also within walking distance of downtown if you don’t mind walking a few miles. Overall, a great stay!
