We did not get to meet Paula & Dave in person as they were away when we stayed at the airbnb. Communication was very clear and smooth regarding arrival / check-in, co-hosts and check-out. Paula & Dave provided excellent recommendations of neighbourhood restaurants so we could have lunch before checking in. The apartment is clean, spacious, quiet, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. It has everything one needs for a cozy stay away from home. The backyard gets the morning sun and it was nice having breakfast there. A cute and friendly cat visited us several mornings (I believe it's the owner's cat). At night you can do some stargazing in the backyard, too. Parking on the street was easy (the street is not too steep). The location of the airbnb is excellent - I love that it is so close to the lake. Columbia city is a lovely neighbourhood: I was impressed by the PCC natural food store and the Wednesday afternoon farmer's market during the summer with live music. The airbnb is only a few minutes drive from the Columbia city link - we did "park n ride" so we didn't have to worry about parking downtown. For ice-cream lovers out there, they have a Molly Moon ice-cream place on Rainier Ave, too! We enjoyed our stay very much and we would highly recommend Paula & Dave's airbnb for your next visit to Seattle!
