The Corner House was perfectly situated for our month-long stay visiting family nearby, and Rhonda was a terrific host; she’s the best reason to stay there. A close second reason is the neighborhood, which is rich with supermarkets (Whole Foods, TraderJoe’s, QFC all a short walk away, and Safeway literally diagonally across the street), and within a couple of blocks are coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, breweries, and the Sunday West Seattle Farmer’s Market.
There were two of us working remotely from the house the whole time we were there, and we found the setup not ideal for remote work. To be fair, I don’t think anyone had tried to work remotely there before, as we discovered upon arrival that the WiFi didn’t support it. We muddled through for a week while Rhonda proved super responsive and helpful in getting a cable internet box installed. The internet now works well, but if you plan to work there for any period of time, you’ll be sitting at the dining room table or the couch.
If you plan to cook frequently for more than one or two people, I would also note that “gourmet kitchen” is an exaggeration. It’s a very tiny area for food prep, and tools and pots and pans are somewhat limited. As long as you’re realistic about the quality and breadth of what you’ll find in a rental home, you’ll be fine.
We slept in the upstairs loft space, as it was more spacious than the other bedrooms, but note that there are no blackout shades so you’ll get lots of light (the other bedrooms are dark if you need that for sleeping).
Full-size washer and dryer, two full (and well-appointed) bathrooms, pantry, and parking for 2 were really nice additional features to have that aren’t available in a lot of rentals in the areas. If you want to have nothing to worry about during your stay, then Corner House is a great bet.
