The apartment is on the lower level of a historic building, built in 1905 and fully renovated by us in 2020-21. It's a spacious studio, with 425 square feet, small well-appointed kitchen, ample closet/dresser space, and a roomy bathroom.

This space is best for for one or two people who want to have direct access to downtown, while relaxing and/or working remotely. The apartment faces a city street, and especially during the day you'll hear some traffic noise, and see pedestrians walking by. The location is great if you like to be "in the thick of things," and not great if you're looking for "secluded and quiet."

The building was originally a church rectory, then converted into an apartment building. A friendly renter lives in the unit directly above. The floor/ceiling is well-insulated, but you may hear them walking around their apartment from time to time.

Other details about the space:
-There are security cameras outside over the front door, over the front door of the adjacent unit, over the parking lot, and inside the laundry room. The apartment interior is not visible on any of the security cameras.
-The WiFi is typically fast. The desk is fairly large and could accommodate an external monitor if you travel with one. There's a great sounding Bluetooth speaker on the desk.
-You can sign into your own accounts on the 4K Roku TV.
-The laundry room is located through the door next to the unit, is shared with other guests/renters, and the code is provided and check in and printed in the check in/out instructions in the apartment. We supply a starter pack of detergent pods.
-All windows are double-pane and the walls and ceiling are insulated, which reduces noise.
-All windows have blinds for privacy.
-There is an AC/heat unit with a remote control, a forced air heater in the bathroom, and a portable electric space heater if needed during the coldest time of year.
-The kitchen has a small oven and range, plus pots, pans, utensils, and the basics needed for cooking.
-There is a drip coffee maker, French press, and a starter supply of drip coffee.
-Extra pillows, blankets, and towels are provided.
-The unit is licensed as a short term rental with the City of Bellingham, permit number USE2021-0013.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire apartment, including main living space, and bathroom. There is a shared laundry room in the same building as the apartment through a separate outside door.

We live nearby and we are happy to help out with any questions you have about the unit, or with tips about where to go and what to do in Bellingham.

This is most definitely a repeat for me. The studio was spotless, beautifully cleaned and cared for. They have all your basic needs. Bed, pillows, towels are top quality. Everything was very lovely.

This is a lovely, cozy, well-appointed place! It had everything we needed and more with thoughtful touches throughout the unit. It was so close to everything we needed- campus, downtown, and freeway access. We walked to Aslan, Hammerhead, and Schweinhaus, as well as into town for record shopping and walks by the waterfront. The owner was wonderfully communicative. Highly, highly recommend!
