This is a wonderful, convenient, clean, chemical-free, friendly space in which to spend one's visit. The first-floor unit is accessible for those with ambulatory difficulties. All cleaning products are free of synthetic scents and carcinogenic ingredients, which is distinctive among rental places. The kitchen is amazingly well-equipped for serious food preparation and enjoyment—and the living room space boasts three sofas and a comfortable chair, with small tables that can be rearranged as desired. There are many amenities, such as fully outfitted kitchen [large refrigerator, dishwasher, all equipage, dishware and cutlery, linens, etc.], full assortment of hair dryer, iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner, wide-screen TV with DVD and VHS players, WiFi access, washer and dryer. The back door opens out into a magical and extensive permaculture garden space. The place was immaculately clean. I gave it three stars only for the rooms because they lacked easy clothes storage. Only a few hangers, no bureaus—a shelving unit in one room to organize clothes and a small hanging shelving unit in the other. We bought some hangers ourselves to use, but this lack would be easily remedied by the ownership. Each room did contain a nice stand on which to place opened suitcases. So for longer stays, this might be a factor for some visitors. The owners were extremely responsive to our needs and requests. All in all, a wonderful, safe, user-friendly spot for a visit to Olympia!

Came out for a week and a wedding. Worked wonderfully for 3 adults, could have easily had 4-5. Was very comfortable and homey. Owners were great as well, made sure we had everything we needed and then some. Great location to downtown Olympia, day trips outside of Oly and more. Would stay there again!

This is a very comfortable place to stay with a beautiful community garden right out the back. If you like to walk, this is an excellent choice. You can walk all over downtown, the Farmer's Market, wharf area, State Capitol, and the wonderful pedestrian walkway around Capital Lake. It is also within a few minutes of I-5. We love being able to shop at the Farmer's Market and make our own meals in the well-stocked kitchen. I would highly recommend this property!

My wife and I stayed here with our son and three grandchildren. Our visit was in January so it was nice to have space for the kids to play in the apartment. The bedrooms are comfortable and provided ample closet space. The bathroom is big and was spotless when we arrived and it was easy to keep clean. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment was extremely helpful, especially if you have children. The only downfall was that there just isn't enough dining space. The kitchen is very nice but there is only a table that seats three people, so we were never able to sit together and have a meal. In summary, we would definitely stay again. Debra is great and the apartment was so much better for us than staying in two hotel rooms.

4.0 out of 5a business visit to olympia
November 12, 2011
lovely downtown apt. Full of essential amenities. Great free internet connection, cable including HBO. Kitchen perfect enough to invite a friend over for dinner. Owner helpful, knowledgeable about area activities and vitals. Walking distance to coffee houses, downtown. Lovely outdoor seating area for morning coffee and quiet time. Easy access to freeways. Especially appreciated how "clean" apt was on arrival, beds comfortable with nice linens. Quiet neighborhood, safe area, made business visit to Olympia effortless. Would definitely use this property for return business.

Delightful downtown apt. Fully outfitted with everything you need for an easy stay including internet that worked all the time. In Olympia on business - needed quick access to the interstate, downtown area. Owner helpful with all logistics. Lovely sitting area just outside apt. Apt clean, well cared for, had W/D for personal laundry (with eco laundry soap and fabric softener sheets for the dryer). Coffee in the AM and goodies to munch on. Able to invite a friend over for dinner and cook a meal in the well stocked kitchen. Will book again for my next business visit.

If you want something other than a hotel room, this will meet your needs. It is NOT your typical bed and breakfast as there is no meals provided nor do you ever meet your host. Parking can be a nightmare as most times the single parking space is taken. Basically it is hotel service as requests can't be met. So if you want a bed and breakfast and want to be pampered go somewhere else. If you just want a homey hotel room, then stay here.
Innkeeper Response
Since 2007 I have had so many satisfied guests and wonderful reviews, so I was quite surprised when I read this one. My property is a vacation rental and not a traditional Bed and Breakfast. I went back and studied my listing and I noticed that a guest may have misunderstand that we are a self-catering property with a fully loaded kitchen including dishwasher, full stove and fridge, microwave, stainless steel cookware, organic herbs, and organic olive oil. I try to respond to any requests in well less than 24 hours when possible and usually with in a few hours as I have a manger who lives near the property. I noticed I could get better at leaving more supplies such as light bulbs and an extra battery for the smoke alarm. For this guest I went out and also purchased a nice adjustable lamp with three bendable directional arms as she seemed to want a lot of light to put on make-up for a wedding. Yes I only have one parking space which you can book prior to your stay and then it will be available for you. See my website for other parking options. The other parking space is right in front of the property and is Free most of the time. As to just being another hotel room, well then Hotels rarely have 900 TV channels and HBO, board games and leggos, and Free working internet. As to the homey hotel room, I advertise as "Your Home Away From Home" with ecologically friendly cleaning products. So what I have that hotels do not offer is organic shampoo and soaps,( hand made by local artisans), Free eco friendly laundry detergent,dish-soap, and bio-degradable cleaning products. I try to be a green facility in as many ways as possible. Anyway, I really try my best to make my guests happy but I will keep trying to take care of every detail. Different people have different needs and appreciate different things and I do respect that!
