Great Property, Great Location

The cottage was everything we needed for our stay. Quiet, comfortable, good local food within walking distance. It's also on a direct route to downtown without hitting any tollroads. Easy drive from the airport as well. Gian is a great host, we won't hesitate to use this spot on a future trip.

Small but efficient ADU. Nicely decorated and supplied. Comfortable bed. Nice deck and fire pit area - but Seattle weather didn’t cooperate. Nice coffee shop a short walk away.

Short Getaway

The proper was clean and information was communicated very clearly. The owner was also very quick to response to any questions or inquiries. The commute was very reasonable to any of the typical tourist attractions in Seattle.

Cozy Indoors & Outdoors

Just enough space for what we needed; cozy and comfortable inside, with lots of outdoor hangout options even in the small private yard. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great. It was easy to control the climate. The kitchenette was well stocked had all the basics to get us started. The quiet neighborhood has a coffee shop (good baked goods!) and small restaurant in walking distance (other end of the block), too.

Convenient Cottage

We had a great stay at Gian's driftwood cottage July 2023. It's cozy with great amenities & the private yard makes it feel much bigger. The bed & couch were comfortable and the Keurig coffee was nice. Parking in the alley was tight for a modest half-ton truck (19'l x 6.5'w), but still worked - better for a smaller 4-runner sized suv or compact car. Recommend!

Has Potentail

Had a long weekend stay with two kiddos. The property has potential but needs some TLC. The shower in particular had some mold and a large gap in the shower door so when you shower the floor gets wet. Duct tape is used in several areas where minor repairs are needed. Would have loved to have a sink near the fridge to wash minor dishes had to use bathroom sink. The backyard was very nice and relaxing. The bed was comfortable. The host was attentive.
