We were attending our son's wedding in Seattle, and we booked Andrew's Airbnb specifically for entertaining family and other wedding guests. The house gave all three couples and one single relative plenty of privacy, and the beds were quite comfortable.
But the real beauty of this house, for us, was that it gave our extended family a comfortable and convenient gathering place. One morning we made five quiches and had an intimate brunch for the bride and groom's families, and I can't describe how perfect this place was for that purpose! I didn't remember the listing mentioning the view from the back windows and deck, but it never failed to thrill. The deck was a favorite morning mediation place for several of us.
Although this house is not far from the university, the street is indeed quiet. We loved the convenience of being close to "the center of things" but also having a peaceful sanctuary.
Andrew is clearly a seasoned renter. Everything was very comfortable, and we found everything we needed without undue searching. We would not hesitate to rent the house again.
