Catherine is the 'old school' experience of AirBnB -- when hosts went out of their way to not just provide space, but to invite you in. Amazing personal touches, from some locally-sourced snacks to a personalized note with suggestions. Great communication, a personal welcome, and a fantastic space on Queen Anne.

If you're tall, take note of low ceilings -- and the lovely owners do occupy the level above the apartment, so you'll hear some 'floor noise' above you.

Those things are trivial, though, when you're enjoying the great views from the porch and enjoying a great neighborhood -- don't forget to eat at the 5 Spot, a personal fave at the top of the hill.
