This is the third AirBnb I’ve stayed in in Seattle and it’s by far the best. You can find bigger places, fancier places, and/or places closer to downtown - but you’ll pay a whole lot more - or the parking situation will be bad, or you’ll have to climb up a long flight of steep steps to get from the street to the door, or something. It’s hard to find a place in Seattle that’s easy to get in and out of without paying through the nose.
But this place … it’s great. The whole experience was very CONVENIENT. Nothing complicated about access - didn’t have to go to a key cafe or wait out on the street for someone to meet us. Could not have been easier to get to - and though we didn’t have a car with us, I really appreciated the ample parking space just outside the gate. Made it feel lots safer getting into and out of friends’ cars/Uber. WiFi password, house rules, etc, were simple, one-page, and posted on the fridge. Never called the hosts because we didn’t need to.
It’s also a great location. There’s a bus stop about a block away (Seattle has phenomenal public transportation). And if you’ve been out and about all day and don’t feel heading back out for dinner, there are enough pubs/restaurants within walking distance to take care of you. There’s also a little crepe place 2-3 blocks away that has wonderful breakfast.
And it’s a great place! Really cute house with great amenities. Love the trampoline. And I discovered a new brand of coffee I really like via the great selection of coffee pods.
PS - Though we never met or spoke with the hosts, we were still completely charmed by them. They left a very nice note and a welcome gift. And their taste in books and movies is very fun.
