This was our first airbnb stay and it worked quite well for my husband and me. Things were very much as described. The clear, detailed instructions we were provided made initial access to the building very easy, as well as moving out after our week's stay. Everything was pristine, and the only surprises were good ones, such as the pleasantness of the shower and discovering amenities we had not expected, such as stovetop burners, cookware, and knives that facilitated meal preparation; a dishwasher; and luggage rack that accommodated both of our suitcases. There's a supermarket in easy walking distance, and it's only a bit further to get to Capitol Hill's light rail station, which gives you quick access to downtown Seattle. We felt safe in the neighborhood of the apartment and found the people (and in some cases, their dogs!) that we encountered to be unfailingly friendly. We would be happy to stay here again.
