My husband and I stayed here for 6 weeks with our dogs while I was working in Seattle. The location and the price made the stay satisfactory. However, I did have a very off-putting interaction with Don that ruined my opinion. I was trying to get an Amazon package delivered, and even though I left delivery instructions on how to get to the cottage, it still went missing. I assumed it was delivered to the main house, but when I knocked nobody answered. I reached out to Don to see if maybe he could text the current renters to answer the door or put my packages at the cottage. Instead, I received a very rude phone call from Don that "I'm in a record session" and was too busy to fuss with my packages. He was very aggressive on the phone, and I was very put off because I consider myself a very conscientious renter.
He did ultimately go into the main house to bring my packages out, but made a point to say he gets sick of tracking down people's stuff in the mail. I thought it was weird, because if it's such a big deal, put that in your instructions somewhere! So yeah, just be aware that you won't be able to get any mail here. I had to have non-Amazon packages delivered to my coworker's house instead. I did find there was an Amazon locker at the Safeway just a few blocks away, but now the Safeway's been torn down to build apartments with the grocery store on the main level, and so I don't know that the Amazon locker is there at the moment. Rebuilding the Safeway is supposed to take 2 years, and being able to walk to the grocery store real quick had been a huge bonus of this location. Without that perk, and with the rude interaction I had with Don, I couldn't recommend staying here.
Also ironically, everything in that Amazon order was stuff for Don's place! I bought Damp Rid because everything's so wet in there, cedar for the closet for moths, and HANGERS which I left there for other people to actually have a place for their clothes!!
