The Rabbit Room in The University District - Seattle

House Rules
The following rules are important for everyone’s safety, and enjoyment, this is a shared house and we all must be considerate and respectful of other people’s experiences. I know it may seem like a long list, but every single one of them has been put in place to respond to previous guest’s complaints and we hope it will improve future guest’s experience.
Please read before booking and understand that this is what you agree to abide by when staying with us. I will do my best to keep it short but specific.

Check-in & Check-out
