This was a very clean and well stocked duplex. All the utensils and dishes you could need are there. Fridge and microwave are adequate and the coffee maker works well.

Teresa was a great host and we will definitely stay at the City Haven III again. Loved the free parking, the shared patio seating area, the auto-lock on the door. The pictures online were very accurate, so the low ceiling was no surprise; the tallest member of our party still had several inches of clearance. The white bath towels were thicker than any high-end hotel I have ever experienced - nice luxury move! Good quality bathroom toiletries were also generously provided to guests.The closet in the front bedroom was fairly useless with a door that was difficult to operate. Fortunately, the back bedroom had a large walk-in closet with at least two dozen quality wooden hangars, to make up for it.One item that has perplexed me for years about rentals is the lack of a knife sharpener; it should just be as standard in the kitchen as a wine opener. My husband flipped over one of the ceramic coffee mugs and was able to put an edge on the chef knife in fairly short order (check out Youtube.com if you don't know this trick), but a knife sharpener would have been quicker and most appreciated.Also, what is with the ubiquitous 'flat' throw pillows everywhere? I don't understand the lack of stuffing in these square pillows that give no support to back or neck. Just a quirk of mine, I guess.I loved the efficient heat controls in each area of the rental - being able to add a few degrees to the bedrooms for five minutes before jumping into bed was a dream!CH3 gets 5 STARS!!

Stay was exactly what we were expecting. Listing is accurate. Rooms/beds were comfortable. Neighborhood and upstairs renters were quiet. Having a designated parking spot was great. Washer/dryer was good to have as well. Host was easy to reach if needed. Nightly rate was good compared to similar listings. Would stay there again.

We had an excellent stay with the City Haven III stayed for 4 days to support youngest daughter during spring training/regatta at SPU. Teresa, host/owner, was attentive to our timing and offered earlier check-in, as the unit was clean and available. She checked in the next day to make sure all was well and if we had any needs. Everything was wonderful clean and fresh, generous amenities and the linens were NOT synthetic nor heavily fragranced. This is a huge bonus for my sensitivities ! While the ceilings (basement apt.) are little lower than normal, my son, 6'3" managed just fine beyond being mindful of the doorways. Beyond the ceiling difference, it was bright and welcoming with plenty of windows; each had blinds to manage privacy and daylight. Finding this coven of comfort in a accessible area of Seattle was a blessing and we will be back! Thank you !

City Haven III was exactly as described. We arrived to a clean, warm, welcoming apartment, complete with a hand-written welcome sign. The home was quiet and well-equipped with everything we needed and was a relaxing place to land at the end of a long day of travel. It should be noted that the ceilings are VERY low in this home, and if you are 6 feet or taller, this apartment is not the one for you! But for us average height folks, it was lovely!
