Wow, what an amazing 4-night stay at Cheryl's beautiful and quirky home! The amenities are beyond measure, the location is super-convenient, and the pets are extra-cute. You'll also never find a more accommodating and welcoming host.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Cheryl's in the final leg of our cross-country move to Seattle. Our SUV was packed to the brim with all of our worldly belongings and we were worried about street-parking. Upon hearing this, Cheryl helped us find a safe parking solution in Queen Anne. She was unbelievably accommodating in this manner for our entire stay. From restaurant recommendations to nearby sights worth seeing, long-time resident Cheryl had plenty of suggestions for us. Her home is located about 8 blocks walking distance from Queen Anne Ave, where a plethora of restaurants, shops, and stores are located. We walked to every meal during our stay and ate at some great little spots. Her home is about a 25-30 minute walk to the Space Needle and other areas in the Seattle Center as well.
Our room was so cozy and filled with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. The bedroom was stocked with a Keurig and K-Cups, along with snacks and a mini-fridge filled with drinks. On cold nights, our towels and lotion were on warmers and an electric blanket kept the already comfortable king-sized bed toasty. The room and adjoining bathroom had shag carpeting and were both clean and orderly. Although we didn't use it, the room was also set up with a work desk if you should need it.
We love pets and were more than happy to cuddle up with Cheryl's 8 small, hypoallergenic dogs when relaxing in her living room. Two birds also live in this home, keeping everyone entertained as they explored the living area. Although the pets mostly stayed downstairs (away from our second floor room), visitors who aren't pet friendly might not enjoy their company as much as we did. It's also worth mentioning that despite the large number of animals residing in the house, Cheryl keeps her home quite clean.
Since we are now Seattle residents, we won't need an Airbnb in the area anytime soon, but we'll certainly be directing visiting friends and family to stay with Cheryl when they come to visit. Thanks for everything Cheryl!
