The full kitchen also includes a washer-dryer, which you will be welcome to use (laundry detergent included).
From the kitchen, head into the sun-soaked dining room. Make your own tunes on the piano or enjoy the view of the garden. The dining room is the heart of the apartment, with access to living room, bedroom, and kitchen from it.
Pass through the dining room into the window-filled living room. Pick a CD or record from our extensive collection and steal away to the airy, sun-soaked nook.

The Neighborhood:
Absolutely in the heart of Bellingham, The Victorian on Garden is just steps from the best of downtown Bellingham. Diagonally across the street from our favorite grocery store in town and just a few blocks of some of the best brewpubs, restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and bakeries in Bellingham -- you won't be far from anything.

You certainly don't need a car while you are staying with us -- bike (inquire about rentals if you are interested) or foot will do. However, if you do have a car, you are welcome to park on-site. Please be sure to leave space for guests staying in the other apartement to park and access the house.
