We stayed at Gillian's loft for 2 days. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend both the apartment and Gillian to anyone interested in visiting Seattle. We are locals to the Seattle area, and Eastlake is a great neighborhood to spend time in - there's a nice cafe a block away from Gillians, and we absolutely love eating at Pomodoro's (an Italian place right across from the cafe). It's just a charming, quiet neighborhood, and getting into town via bus was easy. In fact, we appreciated being halfway between Fremont/University District and Downtown, so we could head to either equally easily.
From the moment we contacted Gillian about her rental, she was responsive and very friendly. She went above and beyond to get a bottle of champagne and flowers for our arrival, so I could surprise my girlfriend. I would only expect that kind of service from a 5-star place.
As for the apartment itself - it's very tastefully decorated, has cork laminate floors with some really comfortable rugs, and (on the rare day when it's sunny and beautiful), an absolutely awesome little deck overlooking Lake Union and Gasworks Park. We enjoyed watching the float planes coming and going on the lake, and the kayakers.
The apartment is not overly large, but was more than adequate for us, and has just about everything you would need to stay in for an evening and cook a great meal.
Gillian has even put a disco ball in there!
My girlfriend loved the little sun/lounge room, that she used for morning yoga, and I loved the two flat screen tv's, which I used to drive her nuts watching bicycle racing.
Much thanks to Gillian and her mother (who lives in the attached house). Yet another fantastic stay with AirBnB, but this one is clearly a standout. As I mentioned, we are Seattle locals, and you aren't going to find a place as nice and full of Northwest Charm in Seattle without donating a limb to funding it.
