My stay at "Treetop and mountain views - Fremont!" was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was outstanding. Ann was caring and attentive, and she even greeted me with an offer of a cup of tea upon arrival, which was late due to my flight being from the East Coast.

The premises themselves were truly lovely. Every morning I awoke to a gorgeous treetop view of one of the main bridges to downtown Seattle. The rainy season had begun, but the trees still sported many leaves and I can easily imagine how even more beautiful this location must be in the spring, summer, and early fall.

My room was wonderful. Spacious, clean, and unique, it was always a welcome place to return to after a long day, whether that having been spent sightseeing and hiking or attending a training. The entire house reflects Ann's artistic and creative sensibilities, and it was a delight simply to sit in the living room and look around, taking it all in.

I loved being close enough to Fremont to walk around and discover things on my own. Indeed, I could have spent all my time in Fremont and been completely happy. Lucky for me, Ann had the bathroom and bedroom well-stocked with Fremont and Seattle-centric magazines that offered all sorts of ideas for potential excursions and great places to eat. And as suggested by Ann, the proximity of the Lighthouse Coffee Roasters, only a few (albeit glute-enhancing) blocks away, was a lovely taste of both local flavor (mmm - their lattés were great!) and milieu.

At Ann's suggestion, I took advantage of several sunny days to walk around Fremont and hike in Discovery Park. I also had the unexpected chance to take a ferry to Vashon Island, which was a fantastic treat.

Ann's home was even prettier than "advertised." My bedroom and the shared bathroom were impeccably clean (actually, the whole house was). The wifi worked without a hitch.

I would recommend this venue wholeheartedly. Ann's commitment to "doing this right" and her enthusiasm about the Airbnb experience overall make her a wonderful ambassador for this experience. Indeed, I hope I'll be able to stay here when I come to Seattle again, hopefully within the next few months - and maybe I'll even bring my husband!

I heartily recommend this listing.
