Seattle Vacation Home: The Autobahn

Do NOT rent from Seattle Vacation Home We booked a property called The Autobahn through Expedia for our family trip to Seattle. Just before check-in, we were told it was “unavailable due to maintenance” and were moved to another house- a larger home. The replacement home was a disaster: • Dirty carpet and bathrooms • Smelled like feet • Deck was unsafe • No AC during a heat wave, and windows couldn’t be opened or had no screens • The house was not ready for guests at all Here’s the kicker: I visited The Autobahn — the house we originally booked (because Expedia sent me the address not knowing that Seattle Vacation Home had changed our reservation). The original home—THIS HOME was clearly not under maintenance. It looked abandoned and had been for months! The company never intended to rent this home to us. It was a baitandswitch. When I brought up these concerns, the property manager was dismissive, condescending, and tried to justify it as an “upgrade” based on square footage. No ownership of the condition, no apology. A lot of gaslighting. I didn’t want to let this ruin our family’s trip, so I waited until we got home to deal with it. I’m Expedia was only able to give me a fraction of what we paid and SVH is not answering their calls or emails. If you’re traveling to Seattle and want a safe, clean, and honest experience, avoid Seattle Vacation Home. They do not operate with transparency or professionalism. You can check out photos on yelp. NOT GOOD!

Satellite TV didnt seem to have any channels that worked

Our stay was for business. The house was very comfortable and the neighborhood was safe, welcoming and quiet. We appreciated all the fine details provided for checkin and check out. Our hosts were very responsive. We’ll definitely stay here again when we return to Seattle.

We will be back when visit Seattle again

Great house in a super nice area! Thanks for making our trip so great!
