| Six of us (three couples) opera fans enjoyed our week-long stay here in August. We liked the neighborhood with its coffee houses, shops, and restaurants. We liked having 2 1/2 baths. We liked having three separate bedrooms and a large living-room-kitchen where we could gather to enjoy meals, one another's company, and the views. We also liked having a private two-car garage downstairs where we could always park. Stairs are the only drawback. The place has four levels: garage at the ground level; two bedrooms and a full bath at the next level; combined living room and kitchen plus a half-bath at the next higher level; and the master bedroom and master bath at the top level. Would we rent there again? You betcha! |

| We found this property to be one of the shining highlights of our trip! This was our first foray into vacation rentals, so we did not know what to expect. What we found was a fully furnished home that met all of our needs and then some. The location is excellent and the amenities that she has put into this house are first rate! The views of Lake Union and the city are first rate and again, if you are looking for something close to town, then just think location, location, location!!!! The whole process was run VERY well and our group that travelled to Seattle fully intends on looking at this place again when we make our next venture up north! You can't go wrong with this property........you won't regret your choice!!!! |

Where do I start...I want to comment on how much
my family and I enjoyed our stay at your
establishment. The place was just what we were
looking for...a home away from home. Everything
in the house was up to date, including the 3
bedrooms and the beautiful kitchen/living room
area. My wife and I scored the Master bedroom,
only because we arranged the trip. If not, we would
have been fighting for it. The room had a jacuzzi
tub and separate shower, and the most amazing
view of Lake Union and the city. We rented a car
and drove 5 minutes to Downtown Seattle and 5
minutes to the University of Washington area.
Parking here is free; unlike the $35+ overnight
charge they get you with staying at a hotel. We
took advantage of the kitchen and the BBQ outside
for dinner, and hung out by the fireplace at night. I
would definitely stay here again and would
recommend this house to anyone who is
contemplating on staying here or not. Anne, you
have outdone yourself! Mahalo for everything! |

Dear Anne,
Our family members from Germany returned home on their Lufthansa flight this afternoon. I think they left with many great memories which included your Boylston home. When we arrived at the house on the 14th, they walked through and could not believe how nice it was. The two senior members of the family claimed the upstairs bedroom and were very comfortable with all that was there. The soaking tub, the view, and the bed were all wonderful. However the two couples that used the downstairs bedrooms were equally as happy.
The kitchen-living room area was a great gathering place and they especially liked the fireplace. Again, the view was fantastic looking out over Lake Union towards the Olympics and the Space Needle. Everything worked well and they used the kitchen facilities quite a bit. The gas stove and oven were great. We used the BBQ on the last night which was my brother-in-law’s birthday. The TV was nice and large and having cable with music was great since watching English language shows was not very interesting to them.
We used our two cars to transport them on many “field trips” and being able to leave one car in the garage was very helpful. We never heard I-5 while we were there and the neighborhood was great for making quick grocery trips. Bus service was excellent and allowed them to go to and from town easily without any issues.
Your house felt like a home to them and I am so pleased that it all worked so well. Thank you too for being so accommodating with our arrival and departure needs. If you ever need a reference about the house, please do not hesitate to have people contact us.
Sincerely,
Phil Sanders and Christiane Helbig

| This was a great property to stay in with my girlfriends for a long, relaxed weekend. The kitchen opens right up into the living area, so it's easy to cook and maintain conversations. The location makes it an easy drive to other parts of the city, and it's an easy hop onto the highway in order to get out of town and see some of the surrounding landscapes. |

| An absolutely great place to stay while in Seattle. The house was very comfortable, neat and clean. This obviously reflects highly on the owner's desire to maintain her townhouse to the highest standards. This place was great to come home to after a day of seeing all of the sites in Seattle. With 3 floors, you can get away for some quiet/alone time, if you need it, while everyone else does there own thing. Wireless internet allows you to figure out vacation plans while you are there. The Eastlake neighborhood is quiet but offers a nice assortment of choices for eating, both takeout and at a restaurant. You're able to walk down the hill, pick up the morning paper, grab a great cup of coffee, and return home, sitting on the upstairs deck, enjoying the leisure and the incredible view. My wife felt as if she was in Europe with the view of Lake Union and the surrounding areas. Parking is never a problem with the garage on the bottom floor of the townhouse and the highway is nearby for easy traveling. Also, any noise from the highway is background noise and hardly noticeable, and we live in a very quiet suburban area. I couldn't recommend this place high enough. I certainly hope we stay there again on our next vacation to Seattle. |

Wanted to append to my original positive feedback. We stayed for 3 days July 07, and despite the record heatwave forcing us to leave all windows open, the highway sound was NOT a problem. It's very much like a steady river-like hum, not at all like New York, Chicago, LA, etc. The townhouse faces west (toward the water) and there were no problems with traffic, noise, neighbors or anything. We just loved our stay, a charming area with convenient access to all the best parts of Seattle. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this rental.
My original comments: Wow! All six of us loved it! "Panoramic" doesn't begin to describe the views. High quality and a terrific bargain. Even the twin beds were larger than expected and very comfortable. Great job, Anne!

11/20/07 Positive When we found this place for rent, we never expected to find what we found when we arrived to this 4 story townhouse. Our children felt so at home when we sat down and took a glance of the Space Needle from the 3rd story balcony. It never accured to them that we where staying in someone elses home. This home has such a warm feeling. The Master Suite is to die for and the huge soaking tub in the master bathroom is unbelievable. This house is such a joy to stay at we recommend for anybody to stay here. Thank you again Anne.

Thanks again for the use of your rental home. Your home is beautiful and we had a great time. We love the view of the Space Needle from the balconies. The location was perfect for all the events we had planned.

08/16/07 Positive We are so glad to have found your "sanctuary in the city!" Your place is beautiful, stylish, warm, VERY quiet, super convenient on/off the freeway, yet surrounded by the best of Seattle. Each bedroom had plenty of privacy, and the kitchen/entertaining area drew us all together with that great view. Thanks again, we'll return soon!

12/04/06 Positive I just wanted to email you to express our delight with your townhouse in the Eastlake neighborhood. Everything about your place was wonderful - the beautiful rooms, the king bed, the walk-in shower, the well appointed kitchen, the large garage, the wireless internet, the convenient location, the great neighborhood, and of course the spectacular view. The color of the walls, the wood and stone/tile floors, and even the Paris and Cat themed artwork were all to our taste. We really felt at home there and cannot believe we were so lucky to have found it. Well done, Anne!
