We are blown away! What a house! What impeccable taste in every detail! (My wife) wants to buy it from you! We are so glad we are staying here. We've rented a lot of VRBOs, and nothing else even comes close!" D and B, VRBO guests "Anne provided a level of hospitality that far exceeds what we have experienced at any Ritz-Carlton property. First, her Mid-Century Modern home is a work of art in and of itself. It has been decorated in an authentic Bauhaus esthetic with an amazing amount of attention paid to detail. The level layout of the home ensures a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Second, the location provides easy access to most of Seattle's most interesting attractions and amenities. Finally, the home is thoughtfully accessorized with luscious linens and a completely equipped kitchen. We cannot thank Anne enough for having gifted us with her hospitality. We are looking forward to our next stay and the ones after that." MARK, Airbnb guests "Absolutely one of the finest homes we have stayed in and one of the nicest and most accommodating hosts we have worked with as well. Anne's home is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and well equipped -- there is really nothing a guest would need that has not been thought of and supplied. Anne went out of her way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible and we hope to be able to stay in her home again and again!" DAVID, Airbnb guest "What a beautiful time we had at Anne's place. Her home was not only clean, but oh so chic with carefully curated pieces throughout the home. You can expect concierge-like service from Anne and nothing short of amazing!" ANGELINE, Airbnb guest "This hidden gem of a home exceeded our every expectation. The place was pristine and modernly furnished. The fully equipped kitchen, high-end appliances, luxury soaps, and thoughtful touches throughout the home made it feel extra special. Host Anne provides detailed information about the home, places to eat and visit and is friendly and responsive. The location is perfect if you want to be close to Seattle as well as the North end. Getting to Mill Creek, Edmonds, Green Lake, and UW is super easy from this home. There are many nearby trails and parks for the walker/runner that we enjoyed, and the surrounding neighborhood felt safe." KAY, Airbnb guest "Anne's house is a dream come true for anyone who loves midcentury modern design. The house and furnishings are perfect, and you can tell that Anne put a lot of time and energy into making this house what it is. This does not feel like your typical AirBnB, it feels like... home. The beds are super comfortable and cozy, the living spaces are beautiful, and the kitchen is well equipped. It's great having laundry and outdoor spaces available too. I highly recommend Anne's house to anyone looking for a cool, clean, private, well-maintained midcentury modern house in Seattle." RICK, Airbnb guest "To say Anne's property is special is an understatement. It's the kind of house people WISH they had for themselves. It was really an inspiration for me to upgrade my own house and furnishings LOL. It's so well cared for and presented with high attention to detail. So many rentals make you feel like the owner expects the worst from you, outfitting their places with cheap and/or plastic things to withstand tenant abuse or be easily replaced. Not this house. You feel that the owners respect you as guests, and trust that you will take good care of everything, which you are in fact motivated to do! It's really lovely in every way -- clean, odor-free, comfortable immaculate beds and pillows, sharp knives. The kitchen makes sense and Anne said she's making some updates in the near future (May 2024)... which should be ready next time we roll through Seattle. Anne's communication and responsiveness were great, and she was helpful and easy-going. A very nice touch was that she offered a light housecleaning free of charge after two weeks, which included replenishing the jars of jam and honey, and she had the fridge stocked with sparkling water. Can't wait to stay here again!" THERESA, Zillow guest "Anne's place could be featured in Dwell or Architectural Digest magazine. Everything about it feels curated and crafted for a special and memorable experience. The quality of the decor and amenities is the best of any Airbnb we've stayed; everything is designed and nothing feels like Costco or Ikea. This is your place if you appreciate a gallery-like home with every detail considered for comfort and aesthetics... A perfect 10!" HELENE, Airbnb guests "This place is absolutely gorgeous! We loved our stay. The location couldn't have been any more convenient, close to many grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The house is beautiful and very well thought of; you can tell that Anne put so much love and intention behind each piece. This is a great property, we would stay here again in a heartbeat." T, Airbnb guests "Dear Anne, We were so happy and comfortable during our stay and just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all your custom touches and wonderful responsiveness. We've never seen a place like yours in all of our travels and stays as travel nurses. Everything was so fun to look at, easy to use, and SO CLEAN!! It's really next-level. We really could not ask for anything -- you've got it all covered. We're grateful you could accommodate our toddler so easily, and when we were packing up to leave, she told us this is her favorite place we've stayed! She loved running around the circular floorplan :-) Thank you for a truly wonderful stay; I only wish we could have stayed longer. Hopefully we'll have another engagement in Seattle and be back!"
