Villa Rivarola - ett drömhus nära Edmonds, en charmig viktoriansk gemenskap

I cannot praise this stay or the hosts more, this is a rare jewel to be found on VRBO! Pedro was so communicative and accommodating it was almost to a fault. I believe he texted us three times for a one night stay asking if we needed anything, and again asked us whenever we saw him in person. The home has a locked front gate to the property and I felt very safe there. The accommodations were beautifully designed with every aesthetic touch perfect to feel like you were staying in a fancy hotel rather than a private residence! There was a designated parking spot, a full kitchen available for use, and the bed was very comfortable. I brought my 84 year old grandmother and Pedro set up a separate cot immediately upon request so I could respect my elder in giving her the whole guest bed. There were only two small steps into the home (1 onto the front porch and one to get inside from there) so that my grandmother did not have difficulty accessing the property. Pedro is a great person and wonderful to talk to, and he plans on donating the property to St. Jude in his will. A property in Seattle is no small gift, so the generosity speaks for itself! I only met his wife briefly, who was just as beautiful and a sweet lovely person. I cannot recommend this property enough, not just for the accommodations but for the hosts as well. It is only cheaper than other nearby properties because the hosts are benevolent people who do not need more, so they pass it forward. A must stay!

Charming host, always helpful but not intrusive. Most enjoyable - perfect for our stay.

The front door that was supposed to be unlocked all the time, was locked, no key at all.Had to book another place because no one was there to help and no one picked up the phone.

The residence is beautiful! Close to downtown Edmonds, Pedro was an exceptional host! Easy access to any of the places we wanted to go. We will certainly try to stay at "The Villa" next time we are in Edmonds!

Very kind hosts and beautiful location! We were under the impression that the property would be unoccupied except for guests- the property is actually renting a bedroom within the home. Great for some persons traveling, but not something I am comfortable with. If this works for you, 5 stars! If not, I'd recommend checking elsewhere No problems otherwise! Thank you for opening your home.
