Martha's cottage is a little slice of heaven. We stayed there during an unprecedented week of snow in Seattle and it was the coziest and most comforting place to come home to. Martha goes above and beyond for her airbnb guests. She is the most thoughtful host I've ever experienced. We arrived at midnight the day of a snowstorm and she had stocked the kitchen with food, fruit, and breakfast items to get us through until we could get to a store. It made us feel at home and taken care of immediately.
The cottage itself is very thoughtfully prepared for guests. It has everything you need to be comfortable during your stay. There are slippers by the front door for padding around on the concrete floor, extra blankets, bath robes, and she had even put together a beautiful floral arrangement for the kitchen table. I traveled with my dog and Martha was very accommodating. She provided a towel by the front door to wipe paws, extra blankets to cover furniture just in case and made lots of considerations to make sure my dog would be comfortable and happy there as well. I definitely recommend it for anyone traveling with a dog. The upstairs loft of the cottage was our favorite place to relax and read books, with views of trees and mountains in the distance. It was like a retreat.
Also, the location of the cottage couldn't be more convenient. While we did have a car, we still made use of the Beacon Hill light rail station that is about a 2-3 minute walk from the house. It's easy to see a lot of Seattle just by using light rail. Also very convenient if you're visiting Seattle and flying in through Seatac..you can skip the uber/lyft and save some money!
In conclusion of this very long review, I highly recommend Martha's cottage to anyone visiting Seattle. She is a lovely host, caring and highly communicative and I hope to stay at her place again some day!
