This was our 1st experience with AirBnB. We were not disappointed. The apartment was much larger than we thought it would be. The 2BR2BA allowed both adult couples to have their own suites. I can only comment on the spare BA/BR. In my opinion, the bed and pillows were much more comfortable than a hotel. All rooms had black out curtains, and outside noise was never an issue, even with morning construction outside the front of the building. Lots of closet space, great shower water pressure. The apartment came with fool proof laundry that was very helpful. The living room and kitchen were big enough for all four adults to lounge around and unwind after a day of sightseeing. Both roof top patios offer amazing views (pictures on site do them no justice). I met multiple building residents who were all friendly and helpful in suggesting local places to eat, and places to take a day trip. The building was in the Capitol Hill area, which unbeknownst to us, is the young trendy part of town. We were able to walk to restaurants, bars, Pikes place, a pharmacy, a mall, movie theater, multiple coffee shops, light rail, and bus stops with no issues. To put it in perspective; my wife was 6months pregnant on this trip, and we never once had to walk outside her comfort level, to find good food or fun. On longer trips, we took a taxi, which seem to always be driving by the entrance of the building, due to its location next to the convention center. The neighborhood and building felt very safe. We had no worries, walking to and from, even later in the night. Siena went above and beyond with information/options on how to get to the apartment from the airport. The refrigerator came stocked with goodies, the bathroom had lots of amenities (even simple things like tylenol and bandaids). The apartment was very clean and smelled fresh when we arrived. Lots of little perks that a hotel does not offer (dvds, wifi, dishes). One day, the wifi stopped working. I contacted Siena, and she got it restarted and working in no time. This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Staying in this apartment made our trip. Hotel rooms get cluttered and offer no place for community hang out. This apartment was great for a family or two couples. If I ever come back to Seattle, I will be sure to stay with Siena again. Great host. Great apartment. Great part of town. Might I suggest Stumptown Coffee on Pine St to any first timers in Seattle.
