This was our first AirBnB experience and it couldn't have been better. Liz's place is excellent. The unit easily checked off our list of 5 essentials - Clean, Comfortable, Quiet, Safe and Private. The space looks EXACTLY as it does in the pictures. Ours had a king size bed and assigned parking. The kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, utensils, appliances, pots/pans, cutting boards, coffee (both regular and decaf!) and nice bottle of wine in the fridge - thank you!. Two burner stove and convection oven/microwave was more than adequate for cooking a few simple meals. Bathroom was clean with plenty of towels, washcloths, hair dryer and soap/shampoo. Check-in was a breeze and Liz was quick to respond within an hour to our questions prior to arrival. Property manager Lori was equally as quick to assist once we arrived. Our door key code was waiting in my email as soon as we landed at SEATAC.
The real bonus to this rental is the neighborhood. There is a great little coffee shop barely 30 paces away right across the street. Several good restaurants within a block or two. We enjoyed having breakfast at Blue Star Cafe right across the street, $8 late night happy hour pizzas at Tutta Bella just a block away and several other good meals at nearby eateries including Chile Pepper (Mexican) and Bodrum (Mediterranean). There is a large grocery store about 5 blocks down 45th St so you can easily stock the fridge, grab some snacks, or cook full meals.
The location is convenient to other great neighborhoods including Fremont, Queen Anne and Ballard as well as an easy 15 minute drive to downtown Seattle and the typical tourist attractions found there.
We would not hesitate to stay at Liz's place again next time we are back in town.
