Fantastic place in a great neighborhood with a killer price! Michael also was a phenomenally prompt and polite communicator before and during my stay. It is obvious he put a lot of love and elegance into the decor and amenities. Very comfortable, very cozy overall. I feel lucky to have come across it, especially on such short notice (I planned my trip only a handful of days ahead).
I was also running late checking out, and he was understanding (when he didn't have to be!) to me about that as well. Construction across the street was happening during my stay which Michael made me fully aware of (before my stay), so that was also super thoughtful!
The parking space involved a bit of a learning curve. While there is some street parking, definitely, the dedicated space for the unit is directly in front of the unit on some wood chips. It's completely lovely once you are parked there, but for an out-of-towner (such as myself) unfamiliar with some tighter/older Seattle streets, it took me aback to realize I needed to essentially drive onto the sidewalk to get into the space. It's not as jarring as that sounds - the older curbs are quite low and it won't harm your car at all to do so. But the driveways themselves are narrow and not too wide, so if street parking is completely taken up, it can be a bit of an angle adjustment to get into the wood-chips-parking space properly. Hope this helps future parkers (and/or maybe you won't have my issues).
Another note for light sleepers/people disturbed by noise: I am a heavily troubled sleeper so I often seek out standalone Airbnb listings (as to not have any shared walls). **So with that caveat - keep in my mind I might have annoyingly super sonic hearing//this next part of the review TRULY might not be an issue for anyone else.** This is a first floor unit, and there are units above you in general. During my stay, no other occupants displayed any excessive noise, but just regular foot traffic above me was absolutely perceivable. Michael even told me that there was no one in the unit directly above me during my stay, so the noise I was hearing was from a nearby/indirect unit above me.
Anyhow, I give this much detail for a few reasons - to again emphasize how communicative and kind Michael was (in general, but also when I brought up this issue), but also to hopefully help any other person who this might be an issue for. All this said - I slept very well for most of my stay! I am sure that the phenomenal bedding (which I saw mentioned in other reviews before my stay, too) had something to do with this! The foot noise really only happened during what I would call "appropriate" hours (vs. too late).
To end -- I know I heavily rely on reviews when I search out for places, so I hope this helps future guests!
Thank you again, Michael! Wonderful place.
