Charming Modern Guesthouse with Garden Patio

Feel inspired by the fine art photography, vintage cameras, and photo art books that adorn the surfaces of this stylish home. Unwind on the outdoor garden patio and enjoy the modern decor, exposed brick, and comfortable bed to sink into at night. Long-term guests have access to laundry and a larger freezer. "The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box." -Henri Bresson In addition to the large studio, you are welcome to lounge on the patio and use the grill and fire pit. You'll find it a peaceful and quiet respite from a busy day of sightseeing. The whole studio is yours and you have a separate entrance on the side of the house. You have a coded lock, so you won't need to coordinate check-in with us. We are happy to answer questions, help out with your plans, or chat, but you can also do your own thing if you prefer. The home is situated on a quiet, tree-lined block surrounded by mid-century architecture with a view of Puget Sound. Walk to Lincoln Park's woods, playgrounds, fields, and beach with West Seattle's main drag only a short drive away. We are just a block from the bus that takes you down to California Avenue's shops, restaurants and theaters. Or you can switch to the C to Downtown Seattle, which is a very quick and easy ride. Or, if you like a walk, you can simply stroll to the C bus to Downtown and stop at the excellent Cafe Lladro for coffee and pastries on the way. Uber and Car2Go are also great options. We have an amazingly sweet and cute doggie who spends a lot of time in the yard in the summer months. If you smoke cigarettes, please do so out front of the house rather than in the back yard. We are happy to provide you with a chair for that. Public and outdoor smoking of marijuana is illegal in the city of Seattle.
