I was quite impressed with Mike & Lori from our first contact. I was quite busy leading up to our stay with them, but their answers to my questions were timely, helpful and polite. We came to Seattle to experience Autumn and the surrounding neighborhood did not disappoint and wowed us with all the fantastic Fall colors! Check- In and checking out was easy breezy. Their place was exactly like their pictures. All decor was tasteful, elegant,and cozy. Their amenities were fantastic. The bed and bedrooms were comfortable and you will get 2 closet spaces for you and your partner. The European style heating towel racks were useful in drying clothes and towels especially after the Seattle rains. At home entertainment was easy as you can easily use your Netflix or Amazon Prime videos to watch anything you want. The kitchen amenities were fantastic! Usually, my husband and I enjoy visiting the local markets to buy snacks and vegan goods to make our vegan breakfasts before we check out the city, and Mike & Lori’s place had all the tools you need to cook. We enjoyed the snacks that were already laid out for us once we got in- from gourmet chocolates, banana bread, fruit, orange juice, eggs, etc. We were impressed at how thoughtfully the place, food, and amenities were planned out. What my husband and I will never forget was Mike and Lori’s kindness. We got in on a late Thursday afternoon and both of them stopped by to ask if were planning to go downtown or anywhere that evening. Then they drove us to the docks where we were able to take the water taxi to downtown Seattle. That was super helpful because it helped as acclimate to the place, saved us time and money, and allowed us to experience Puget Sound like the locals. Be prepared for the best view of Seattle from the water taxi.. Access to downtown Seattle is easy. Other than Lyft/ Uber, you can walk down the hill towards the bus station and/or catch a free water taxi shuttle on weekdays ( closed on the weekends). Overall, Mike and Lori’s place was a great place to stay for our first time in Seattle.
