Chris is a fabulous host! His Air BnB is well located in a walkable, safe neighborhood close to many dining options. It is near both Wallingford and Green Lake, two very desirable neighborhoods for hanging out, jogging, walking, and dining. Chris' directions were perfect; his communication was excellent and he allowed me plenty of privacy.
The Air BnB is the bottom floor of a three story residential home; so visitors should be aware that they will hear "people noises" above, although this was not at all problematic for me. It is called a "daylight basement" which is common in the Seattle area. Since many homes do not have air conditioning, the temperature is very comfortable even in Seattle's warmer months; the trade off is it can be kind of dark and cave like. Chris provided lots of lighting, which was needed in the afternoon and evening. Daylight basements don't often have a lot of ventilation, but a window was able to be opened and when I opened the entry door I could get some nice air circulation.
Hot water pressure was excellent; the place was stocked with amenities that were appreciated by this guest. Access to a washer and dryer is also included, which is really nice!
Chris is knowledgable about the Seattle area and can provide tons of information for those who do not know the area.
The value for summertime in Seattle was superb. The fully equipped kitchen, including coffee k-cup maker and coffee was a nice touch; as was a welcome package of bottled water, chocolate and chips. I very much enjoyed my stay and would recommend Chris's place for value minded savvy travelers who understand the limitations of the arrangement, and are not looking for fancy digs. Other pluses are location to public transportation, walkable dining and activity, and proximity to Downtown Seattle.
