 "We found Urban oasis the perfect in-city location for our return visit to our old stomping grounds of Seattle, showing off the best of the Puget Sound: water and mountain views, near great restaurants, bakeries, bus lines, and ferry docks. The apartment was comfortable and beautifully appointed. Thanks for the extra touches in our welcome basket." - Lavae, Costa Rica, 09/15/08
"The Urban Oasis was the perfect place to stay for my first time in Seattle. We left our car upon arrival and didn’t go back until departure--- we walked everywhere. It was the location, attention to detail, views – well everything - that made this place so awesome! I plan on telling everyone back East about this place and I definitely plan on coming back. Thanks!" - Noble Stafford, Arlington, VA, 09/05/08
"From the moment Darik met us at the entrance of the bat cave we felt welcomed (the garage). Even though we arrived late (around midnight) Darik graciously gave us a tour of the facility including the lovely pool, jacuzzi and courtyard. The detail of items at our disposal was truly impressive, ie shapoo, baggies, cooler, pillows, blowdryer everything we needed was handy. We gathered here for the marriage of our son/nephew. The location of “The Oasis” could not have been better for shopping…Make sure you get an amazing $15.00 bouquet at pike’s market right next to the brass pig…of course Darik had a great vase for them. The bakery Macrina, had an amazing quiche with sugar snow pieas, great CRISP surprise. The highlights of The Oasis… Jacuzzi, The Ed, the view of the cruise ship in the morning, the chandelier in the bathroom the comfort. We were not boweled over by the “flying fish” restaurant…sad do say we did enjoy breakfast all day on 1st about 6 blocks away (CJ’s). A must see is the amazing library. Make sure you go to the top. Don’t look for Mao Se Tungs Home in Chinatown (wrong info from in-laws) If you have a car, rattlesnake ridge is a great hike…we recommend the 2 mile hike, not the 10 mile J We were blessed with gorgeous weather, a bit cool, however blue skies. Open the windows , the air is fresh & clean, rare in a city. It is said that if the TV does not go in the 21st century you have made a human connection and we did… yahoo. We equate “The Urban Oasis” with “balm for the soul.” Thank you so much it exceeded our expectations. " - Michelle Marineau, Laie, HI, 09/04/08

"This is our top VRBO stay by far! You have a great, well-equipped kitchen that made fixing the wonderful local seafood a pleasure. We found some of the best restaurants to be right at our doorstep. What a great location! Thanks for thinking of everything and being so pleasant to deal with. We loved Seattle and the beautiful view of the water!" - Jana, Cincinnati, OH |, 09/04/08
 "Darik, Thanks for all the great recommendations. I love Macrina Bakery and David’s favorite was the Buenos Aires Restaurant. We appreciated your immediate attention to the minor mishap. We look forward to staying again and will definetly recommend you to our family and friends. Sally, great decorating!" - Rebecca Castillo, San Antonio, TX |, 09/04/08
"This was just the place we needed for a busy wedding weekend. It was 95degrees in Seattle, but the air conditioning kept us cool. We were parched when we arrived, and there were bottles of water in the welcome basket to help keep us going. While we mostly ate out because of the wedding festivities, we did dine in one evening and we found everything we needed (even ziplock bags and tupperware for leftovers). It's clear you put a lot of thought into preparing the condo and it shows. Thanks!" - Anonymous |, 07/07/08
"We spent a wonderful seven days in this fantastic condo and can't say enough about it! It's in the perfect location for walking the city, visiting the museums, and of course, drinking and eating! What a great place to stay, it really felt like home. Thanks for investing such time in all the details!" - sadie & mark, colordo springs & san diego, 04/13/08
"Darik! Thanks for the wonderful weekend! I apologize, I didnt call to let you know all was well. We had a fantastic time and loved everything about the Condo. It really was top notch. Hopefully we can enjoy your hospitality again some day! Best Wishes. -William" - William, Kent, Washington, 03/11/08
"We enjoyed a week of wonderful weather and walked along Elliot Bay from the Olympic Sculpture Park to Pike Place Market and shops downtown. This location is great, and we loved seeing the ferry boat traffic and the Olympic Mountains every morning! So many good restaurants in the neighborhood; we couldn’t try them all. The condo is filled with quality – the furnishings, the equipment, the supplies, are all top drawer. Even a DVR so we could record programs to watch on our own schedule. We would love to come back!" - Larry & Diane Martin, Mill Valley, CA |, 03/06/08
 "Loved it, thanks!" - The Griffiths, , 02/08/08
"Thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful condo. The views were simply amazing! Thanks for recommending El Gaucho and the Big Picture across the street, my wife and I had the most wondeful time. We look forward to our next trip to Seattle so we can stay in your unit again." - Al Berner, Portland, OR, 01/26/08
"We are from Clifton Forge, VA and have been to Seattle a few times. We have stayed in VRBO units each time, and this is by far our favorite. The Welcome Tray and Goodie Basket was such a nice touch, and the directions for the electronics was oh so helpful. We are going to reccomend the unit to all our traveling friends!" - Roy and Sally Putnam, , 09/06/07
"We usually consider ourselves hotel snobs, and this was our first experience with VRBO, and boy are we coming back! The mattress and linens were wonderful, the decor was fun, and the kitchen had evertyhing you need for a Sunday dinner! Thanks for having such a great unit!" - Joel and Christy Robbins, , 07/25/07
"We can't wait to come back, what a good deal! And what a suprisingly quiet unit for being in the middle of the city. We never heard the neighbors, just a little noise off the street! What a small price to pay for the awesome views and great location." - Mary Kellen Beckam, Las Vegas, NV, 07/13/07
 "I came up here for a concert and didn't even realize I was in walking distance to the venue, stellar!" - Sarah Jessee, , 06/17/07
"Thanks for a great stay, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We especially liked the suggestion to go The Underground, even our kids liked it! Your unit really is beautiful, thanks again. Becky" - Becky Bower, , 05/10/07
"Wow, this was better than we thought it was going to be! The pictures were not lying about how wonderful a view it is for the sunset. You can literally walk just about anwhere from this condo and the price was way below other units in the same range. We can't wait to come back in the summer!" - The Callahans,, 03/19/07
