Wonderful place to stay in Seattle!
We had a lovely stay at City Haven III. It was spacious, clean, and had lots of useful amenities. Teresa was communicative and helpful. We will look to stay here again next time we are in Seattle!

Perfect Little Place
What a perfect little place to stay! Plenty of light in the many windows makes you forget you are in a basement. Pay attention to the 76" ceiling height. It's a little tight if you are taller. Everything we needed to stay 5 days. The washer and dryer came in handy as we got caught in the rain. Very easy to walk and catch the bus. Close enough to walk to wonderful restaurants. A short drive to shopping. We found it easier to take the bus downtown as it was cheaper than paying for parking. Teresa the host is ready to help with anything you need. The keyless entry was very easy to use. We enjoyed our stay in Seattle very much. This cozy space was a wonderful home base in a very unique neighbourhood. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect
Cute place with everything we needed. I appreciated the super, fluffy towels and the cotton bed linens. Clean, functional, spacious, and in a perfect location for us. Ceilings are low, but it didn't bother us (we are all under 5'11''.) Great communication with the owner. Thank you!

Perfect for our family!
We rented both the upper and lower level of this house for family members attending a wedding in Seattle. The property was lovely, very clean and comfortable, and well located. Communication with Teresa was great, she was very quick to respond to our questions. It was perfect for our family and I would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Simon

Host profile image
City Haven III was built in response to the positive feedback we received from the original City Haven (vrbo Listing 585829) which is located right next door and upper unit of this home (vrbo listing 741854).

These homes are part of a love story that started back in 2004 when I purchased this house. The following year, my now husband moved from New York and bought the house next door. When we met, I asked him to move his garbage cans out of my driveway. But soon I started asking him to salsa dancing. And then he asked me to dinner. We fell in love! The man who bought the house next door married the girl next door (me!). Two kids and a few years later, we kept the homes a rentals and moved a few blocks North.

I left my job at Microsoft and we started buffing, remodeling, scraping and decorating these homes we've come to love. City Haven III is the result of a recent remodel that's turned this old 1920's Craftsman into a modern beauty with period charm.

We're Team Simon and our whole family works to make this a place you'll love to call home for a while. We love it! And we hope you'll love it, too.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home for the same reason you'll want to stay here.... close to Green Lake (swimming, paddle boats, golf)! Close to the Zoo (animals, outdoor summer concerts)! Grocery store 3 blocks away (last minute wine and snacks)! Right next to the express bus to downtown and close to all the great restaurants in Fremont (cook, schmook... let's go out to eat)! It's the perfect centralized hub to live like a local while still being close to everything the downtown area has to offer. Home away from home!

What makes this property unique

Have a large group visiting the area? Rent both City Haven (vrbo 585829), City Haven II (vrbo 741854) and this apartment as well (vrbo 862918) There's enough room between the two homes to accommodate 14 people. Please ask for more info or check availability through our updated calendars in the listings.
