The BEST. Everything about this rental was awesome. Andrew and James are extremely accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be staying here on future visits to Seattle.
Though we were only a party of two Grandmas (plus a Grandpa for 2 nights), four or five guests would be very comfortable in this apartment.
Andrew and James are fabulous hosts. The apartment was easy to find, spotless and extremely comfortable. Our private entrance included a small patio with table and chairs, surrounded by unique and colorful vegetation. The yard was also available for our use, though we only had time to peruse the walkways a few times. Andrew and James have raised bed vegetable gardens and fruit trees. They shared some of their organic veggies with us, too! It's amazing how much they were able to plant in their small urban yard. It's beautiful.
The apartment was spotless when we arrived and the beds extremely comfortable. The kitchen, bathroom and each of the two bedrooms have windows. One day upon opening the shades in one of the bedrooms, one of their cats greeted us. Despite being a lower level apartment, we did not feel like we were in a basement because of the light coming in through the windows and the frosted glass door into the apartment.
This is an animal-free apartment. Animals are not allowed nor do the owners' cats enter the apartment. Very reassuring for someone with allergies like me!
The bathroom is very roomy and holds the high end washer and dryer. There's even a hamper! We did not need to use it but it was nice to know it was there for us, just in case. Andrew and James thought of everything! The fixtures are high quality. The fan in the bathroom is very quiet. Heat in the apartment is controlled by each room. We were both very comfortable.
Everything you could possible need is there for your use. If you discover the apartment is missing something that would make your visit more comfortable, they gladly respond with the item pronto. I could not find measuring cups the first morning. Later the same day, Andrew showed up with brand new liquid and dry measuring cups. He also mentioned that the blender was purchased when a guest asked if the apartment stocked one.
The location was perfect for us, only .4 mile from our children's home in a lovely part of Seattle, close to a grocery stores, coffee shops and small restaurants. Bus transportation into downtown Seattle is a short walk away.
This is indeed the best Airbnb in which I have ever been a guest. Thank you, Andrew and James, for your commitment to outstanding accommodations for out of town guests.
