I am a musician and I have been traveling for about a year now. In that time, I have rented several places through Airbnb, mostly for durations from 2-6 weeks in several major cities. Of ALL the places I have stayed, this has been the absolute very best!
I can't say enough at what a wonderful stay we had at Theo and Maria's "Red House". The apartment is beautiful and very spacious. The apartment is beautifully furnished. It has a great kitchen that is equipped with everything you can imagine and you could ever need.
They have a lush, almost tropical backyard that we had unencumbered access to and that my 6 year old explored and exploited with delight.
When we arrived, there were muffins, a bottle of delicious wine, ice coffee concentrate in the fridge. There were several sheets full of info about the neighborhood such as location of grocery stores and drugstores and there favorite restaurants.
My daughter fell in love with Theo and especially Maria. They made delicious muffins together (allowing her to lick the frosting off the spoon), watered plants together, was given a toy car and piggy bank and most of all, spent time and, dare I say, tolerated our attention craving child!
We had a delicious dinner with them (they live above). I mean, really, they didn't miss a thing! And such nice people, I want to move to Seattle just to be able to keep up our friendships! Rave, Rave RAVES. Thank you Maria and Theo for an absolutely wonderful stay and extending yourselves so much!
