Great place

For anyone tall that is traveling the place is great but the parking area is small if you have a big vehicle and the ceiling height is about 6’4” and I’m 6’6”I didn’t realize that when I booked but all in all a 5 star stay in a great location!

Fantastic Fremont

Stayed during the Fremont solstice and you cannot beat the location of this VRBO. Walking distance to the zoo, downtown Fremont and the E line bus to Seattle. Best lower unit we’ve ever stayed in.

City Haven III was perfect for our family of four’s recent stay in Seattle! The location is fantastic to so many different areas (downtown, Ballard, Green Lake, Fremont, etc). We especially loved the short four block walk to the zoo! The owners did a fantastic job making this basement apartment feel cozy and we were pleasantly surprised with how light and bright it felt. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic spot!Location was perfect for both walking in the neighborhood and driving around the city. Teresa was communicative and helpful. I LOVED her info binder that included everything I need to know about the property and great recommendations for things to do and eat. It was thoughtful, funny and personal. The property was immaculate and nicely set up. I appreciated the dedicated parking space and having a washer/dryer.I will absolutely stay again and have recommended it to Seattle friends for when they have people visiting.

Fantastic location, functional house

We stayed here because I needed somethings close to the UW medical center. Location was great for that, plus good food nearby, and nice walking areas! For not being a large space, it did not feel cramped at all. It was well stocked. Parking was sufficient! The host was eaay to reach and communicate with.
