I recently had the pleasure of staying in Catherine's cozy 2 bedroom vacation rental while visiting Washington to see a concert. It was comfortable and clean, and quiet. The neighbourhood is lovely and safe. The lake view can be seen from the outside seating area where there is also a fire pit. The bed was comfortable and the blackout blinds were perfect for a good night's sleep. I would stay here again, for sure.
Catherine was so sweet and helpful. All of her instructions were easy and clear!
I enjoyed my time in Federal Way, and if I needed to stay in the area again, I would not hesitate to book Catherine's apartment again! My husband and I stayed with a couple of friends for the maximum of 4 guests, and there wasn't really enough space to spend time together. I think staying with just a partner or friend would be better than with a group.
Wonderful, Cozy little spot to get away for a quick weekend out. It's in a nice neighborhood, but still tucked away from the little bit of from the neighborhood. The decor had a lot of nice local historic theme to it as well!
The place was very enjoyable and perfect for our short-term stay in Washington. We came fot wild waves amusement and water park! The home was close to the park and made for an easy commute. Catherine even left snack for us to enjoy when we arrived which was lovely after our long, exhausting day out!
It was nice to stay in a quiet residential neighborhood. We only stayed one night so didn't spend any time exploring the area. We tried to attend a concert at the White River Amphitheater. I strongly recommend avoiding this concert venue. However, that didn't have anything to do with Catherine's place, which was comfortable.
Very nice stay everything as described! Clean and peaceful
Great space and great area! Very clean and felt very welcoming!
Very sweet. Very proactive and communicative. It was a great private location and the beds were comfy:) Great Lake spot. Serene
Catherine's place was a lovely place to stay just outside of Seattle. Its small but comfortable and homey. The neighborhood is very clean and quiet. Catherine was easy to communicate with and she was prompt. Would definitely recommend.
Love every bit of our stay! Katherine is a great host, easy to communicate and kind!
Good place to stay at, gave helpful instructions to get to the Airbnb
Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt bei Catherine. Das Apartment liegt in einer sehr schönen Gegend und ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um Seattle und die Umgebung zu erkunden. Die Kommunikation und der eigenständige Checkin haben super geklappt.
Catherine was a lovely host. The place is very nice and cozy, with a beautiful view of the lake.
Catherine’s place should be the standard in which all other Airbnb’s strive to reach. The space was clean (cleanest I’ve ever seen), Catherine communicated well, and the price was spot on! Thank you, Catherine for hosting our family!
Absolutely as described. We were in the area for one night to watch a Triathalon 26 min away. This was an adorable and spotless little space. Catherine has every detail handled, down to back up toothbrushes if you happen to forget yours (which I did - so thank you) The home is compact but comfortable and literally has everything you could need while away from home. The area was very nice, we enjoyed a peaceful walk thru the neighborhood/park after our drive. Would definitely recommend.
I liked how quiet the neighborhood was. I enjoyed the raising of the beds and the blankets were nice. The art on the wall was cool. I would have preferred a couch over the chairs, however everything else was great!
Beautiful area, right next to the lake which is right outside your door. Catherine was very responsive even when we showed up at 3 am, she was able to help us. Would highly recommend
