Goldfinch House - Scandinavian Modern Near Beaches

Wonderful place - perhaps the best VRBO we’ve rented.

This was a beautiful, very well maintained house. The grounds, especially the backyard patio and landscaping are so relaxing. The kitchen was a chef's dream and well supplied. Leslie was very communicative and easily reached. Check-in was simple as was check out. The house is in the outskirts of the city and in a quiet neighborhood. I will continue to rent here as long as our son lives in Seattle. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the accommodations at Goldfinch House very much! We had 3 generations staying and all felt comfortable. Master bedroom is fabulous. The heated floors in the bathroom were especially nice. Showers were clean and there were plenty of plush towels. We cooked there a couple of nights including use of the gas grill. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious for cooking meals. The appliances are top quality and easy to use. The upstairs sitting area has multiple seating options including a comfy sectional.The house is located in a terrific location in Ballard in a quiet residential neighborhood. However, it is a close drive to groceries, Norway Museum, Golden Gardens, Ballard Locks and restaurants. The only thing to be aware of if you stay here is that the guests sleeping down in the basement will hear lots of the noises above as it has an open stairwell and no bedroom door to close down there at night. It worked out fine with all adults staying there, but we did have to be very quiet upstairs while college students were sleeping in the basement. In addition, the 2nd bathroom that is shared by Bedroom #2 and #3 is a bit tight. We had 4 adults using it and there wasn't much counter space for supplies. However, the shower and heated floors in there are wonderful! Plus, it has a huge skylight for natural lighting during the day. We would definitely stay at Goldfinch House again sometime. The owners were very easy to communicate with and worked hard to make our stay terrific!

I stayed with my family for just under a week and could not be happier with the property, location, and communication with the owner. Leslie has a wealth of knowledge about the area and genuinely enjoys helping guests have a great time. We all fully enjoyed every second of our stay and will absolutely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Our stay at Goldfinch House was absolutely fantastic and we will definitely book here again! The host was excellent at communicating and was super accommodating! Right after booking we received a welcome email with a pdf file that outlined everything we need to know about the house and included so many wonderful recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area. The host even produced extra recommendations for questions that I had. The home is so beautiful and clean. The garden was also very beautiful. We came with 2 small children who loved having the outdoor space. The kitchen is well stocked and the bathrooms had a lot of great supplies, like black face towels and shampoo, conditioner, body soap and extra towels. 10/10 would recommend!
