Manomi's place was much bigger than I expected. When you walk in, there is a small storage type of room where she has a bike and some other closets. You then walk up around 14 stairs to the next floor. On this floor, there is a tv, a kitchen, a door to the back deck, and a bathroom. Go up another 14 stairs and you are on the 3rd floor. On this floor, there is a full bathroom, a closet with a washer and dryer, a room with the door locked, and the main bedroom where guests will stay.
A couple of major things to keep in mind:
1.) The house is very stuffy (Manomi does leave post it notes stating the house is stuffy and to leave the windows open.) Manomi also left a small fan in the guest bedroom, but it needed to be hit a couple of times to work. It was a little noisy during the night, so we think she should just purchase another one.
2.) There are a lot of stairs to the main bedroom (28+). So, if you're traveling with a heavy suit case, keep that in mind.
3.) Most people don't go on vacation to watch tv but I thought I would mention that she has limited channels on her Comcast. Again, I rarely watched t.v. there but just something I wanted to mention.
4.) The location is about 15-17 minutes from the main parts of the city. Manomi left a helpful binder describing her favorite spots to eat and how to get around the city via public transportation. My wife and I had a rental car, but we took the bus to Pike Place Market ($2.50 each way per person). Once we were at Pike's
Place Market, I started Googling Airbnb's near the area and found some great deals.
To sum it up, Manomi was a great host and her house was great, but if we go back, we will be airbnbing it closer to the city for the same, if not lower, price.
