We really enjoyed our stay at Phinneywood Basement Hideaway. We slept very well. The property was easy to access and the rental was well equipped with kitchen items for cooking at home, and had plenty of bathroom accessories (towels & toilet paper). It was well lit at night and best of all, it was very affordable for our six-day stay. We hope to be back!

We had 4 adults in our party and stayed for two nights.Easy access to downtown Seattle without getting on the interstate. Our stay was safe and comfortable. Appreciate the easy off street parking.Getting in and out of the basement unit was easy with the keypad code. We would stay here again.

Immaculately clean, extremely convenient, quiet, comfortable. The payment process seemed a bit clunky but that was probably because I was unfamiliar with it. Overall very satisfied and highly recommend.

Perfect for our needs. Just a suggestion ❤️

We absolutely loved our experience at this location. My only wish would be that the advertising mentioned that this is a lower unit below another. There was a lot of noise (sounds of child and/or dog running)pretty early in the morning from the upstairs unit and would have liked some outdoor seating, but everything else was perfect.

Cozy and in just the right spot!

Secreted away in a cozy pocket in Seattle's Phinneywood area, this place was great for a family traveling on a workation. Within walking distance of good food (Try Yanni's, a short 15 minute walk away!), a nice zoo, a lake, and several nice looking pubs (didn't check them out, but they looked like the place for a brew), you can save some miles on the rental car and still have a great time. But if you've been to the Pike Place Market and got food for dinner, you're in luck, the kitchen is pre-stocked and ready for you to cook up a few meals! We had a great time and if we are ever back in Seattle, we'll try here first!

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was hard to find where the actual entrance was based on the pictures. The stairs are actually around the other side. Once inside the property was fine, but we kept finding SO many spiders. Both dead and alive and some still smeared on the walls from previously being squished. Overall the stay was fine, the upstairs neighbors were kind of loud as well at some points.

We loved the location and layout of the property. While we saw the pictures that showed that the structure was small, we were surprised it encompassed 3 rentals and not just one. Were disappointed we were allocated to the basement and had no outside sitting space. Althought it probably would have not bearing on it we reserved the space or not, I would have expected this information to be known to us before booking.
