Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard R., Amberg Germany 15 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sunshine House lives up to name! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Sunshine House. The weather was beautiful and the house has so many places to enjoy the sun——front porch, kitchen table, dining room table, back porch, etc. It is such a comfortable and bright home. In addition, Robin and Scott made sure the house was extremely well stocked and prepared for our visit. Everything was easy to fine and at our fingertips. We have stayed in many vacation rentals but this one tops them all in terms of comfort and convenience. It is located in an ideal spot in Seattle. A classic, pedestrian neighborhood with nice sidewalks, cafes and parks. However, it’s central location in Ballard made access to downtown, UW, Green Lake and other neighborhoods easy as well. Thanks for all your have done to make our time here so pleasant and enjoyable. Rick and Leigh ##### Richard R.
