The location is great. Close to Seattle proper.
However, it should be emphasized (currently hidden in a long description) that the place is owned by and attached to a retreat center and they meet Tuesdays and Sundays. The kitchen door must be locked if you don't want anyone coming for the meeting to wander into your stay area. There is a bathroom outside of the kitchen area that is used by the public who come to the meetings. We chose not to use the bathroom except for emergencies when the upstairs bathroom was occupied. The laundry machine is in the basement, and it's very scary down there. Felt like something you would see in a horror movie. Only went down in pairs.
There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and one bathroom. The bedrooms are ok. They are numbered 1-4, and there are lists of rules in the bathroom, which gives the impression that each room may be rented to separate parties, but they are all expected to share the one bathroom. One friend said it felt more like a dorm or a hostel style.
The bathroom upstairs is in bad condition. Tiles are moldy and some tiles are missing. One side of the mirror on the medicine cabinet is missing. The water pressure in the shower is good though. Plenty of towels and paper towels. The condition could use some repairs, though.
The photos on the listing does not realistically reflect the reality of the present condition. When we first saw the listing with the bright yellow walls, we were very excited. When we got there, everything seemed so drab and not as welcoming as the photos.
Oh, there is a distinct odor to the place. We thought it smelled like a church. Old wood, musty smell that you smell in a lot of churches? Not obnoxiously unbearable, but be aware there is a distinct odor if you are sensitive to smell.
Regarding parking, you may have to search a while for street parking if you return later than 9 pm. We got a parking ticket the last night because apparently you are not allowed to park right in front of the place marked as a 3 min loading zone. It is for the retreat center and the airbnb is owned by the retreat so we assumed it was ok to park there. It was not in the parking instructions.
Overall, although I have to give high ratings for the specific elements, I have to give it just 3 stars (ok rating) overall because of the things not rated in the elements such as those enumerated above. We wanted to give it a 2.5 but Airbnb says 2 stars is "Bad," which this place is not. It's not bad bad. It meets the threshold for being ok. But we would not stay here again, nor would we recommend it to others wanting something that doesn't feel like a hostel/dorm. But it's acceptable for the bare bones of sleeping and taking a shower.
