Heading to Seattle with a group and want to stay together? Don’t want to pay exorbitant hotel costs? Don’t mind Ubering or driving a bit to get to the action? This is the place for you. An abundance of beds, bathrooms, clean fluffy towels, a huge dining room table big enough for everyone. Lots of bowls and glasses (wine glasses too!) in the kitchen. Big modern fridge with lots of room for everybody’s goodies, with an ice and water dispenser. Amazing views from the east side of the house. Good communication before and during our stay. Quiet neighborhood, not much noise from the street when the windows are closed. The keypad entry was great because people were always coming and going and we didn’t have to worry about keys.
As mentioned in the listing, the bathrooms are dated. This is true, but they’re fine - except that it’s very difficult to keep the shower temperature consistent, even when the rest of your group has vacated the house and aren’t flushing toilets or rinsing dishes (please be careful, the water can change to ice cold or scalding hot within seconds!). Some of the bathrooms had shampoo available but hand soap was missing from others - this seems very nitpicky I’m sure, but if you have a full house you might want to bring some just in case! What’s not mentioned in the listing is that the rest of the house is pretty dated, too. It’s older and has lots of nooks and crannies. The carpet to the lower levels needs replacing, it’s in rough shape and even missing on one of the stairs. The second kitchen is not stocked with anything and is just taking up space. A little bit of updating and TLC could make the house a real jewel.
