Fantastic, modern and clean apartment

Thank you very much for lending us your amazing space for our trip to Seattle. The accommodation was as described. My only criticism was the noise from upstairs when people were moving around. This did wake us in the middle of the night. We would definitely use this apartment again in the future if we come back to Seattle.

Great family stay in Seattle!

What a lovely property, absolutely ideal for our family of 4 and a pleasure to come back to to chill out in after some baking hot sightseeing days in Seattle! Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Many thanks Teresa!

Excellent apartment, ideal for exploring Seattle

Very tasteful decor, finished to a high standard. We found the apartment to be very quiet and comfortable with all amenities that we needed for our short stay. Located in a good neighbourhood, with easy transport access to downtown Seattle. Bus route outside, but we found Uber to be a reliable and economic alternative method of transport, Highly recommended.

Wonderful property in the Fremont neighborhood

We visited the Seattle area in April, 2024 and had a great experience during our stay. The unit was very clean, nicely decorated. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is convenient and in a very walkable area. We walked to dinner and took a short walk to the Woodland Park, which is about 4 blks away. We highly recommend this property if you are in the Seattle area.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Simon

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.
