So many good reasons to stay here. The location is fantastic. It’s a little over a mile from lake Washington and walking distance to the light rail into Seattle. If you are not familiar with lake Washington, there are miles of running and cycling options connecting you to the I-90/I-520 and lake Washington loops. There are boats out on the water every day and a small rocky beach where you can swim. On a clear day, the views of mt rainier are absolutely stunning.
The light rail is a quick ride down to pioneer square/university ave/tourist parts of town where you can jump on boats to Bainbridge, take in panoramic views of the skyline from the bar on the rooftop of the smith tower, and restaurant hop around the international district.
The Airbnb is a short walk from hillman and Columbia city downtown districts where you can find really tasty Ethiopian and Vietnamese food in addition to a bakery selling everything bagel donuts.
The property itself is really nice. Parking is available and entry is through the backyard under a Granny Smith apple tree. Mauricio did an incredible job designing this apartment with a generous elkay kitchen sink, highly functional portable stoves, a spacious walk-in shower, and a chock full of Seattle themed entertainment including movies, books, and travel information for the area.
My girlfriend and I just stayed here for a month and would have been happy to stay longer if it weren’t for the fact that we already had travel plans to go elsewhere. If you are considering booking this property, go for it. It won’t disappoint.
