We stayed at this house for four nights. Two adults and two small children, ages 3 and 6.
Pros:
House is in a great location on capital hill. A block from Safeway and the bus stop and a four block downhill walk to the light rail station.
The house is brand new with very nice appliances and countertops. All three beds are queen size memory foam. The master shower has a rain fall shower head and with 9 foot ceilings there is plenty of height to shower comfortably. Being 6’ 4” I often do not fit comfortably in showers.
The rooftop deck view is amazing and would be great for summer. However it rained the entire time we were there. There is a nice outdoor table with six chairs up there.
There are wall heaters on every floor and AC on the first and third floor. So you can climate control by room. Which we liked a lot. Some people want to stay warm at night and others like a window open.
Cons:
There is no shelf is the master shower and so you have all your soaps on the ground level and keep bending over to pick them up.
The couch on the main floor is not comfortable to sit on. Your typical lumpy/hard futon. There is no dining table indoors. There are two bar stools at the large island in the kitchen, but if you wanted to have a large group dinner and it is raining, this is probably not the place for you.
There is one dedicated parking spot. It is unusually small (tight). They took 4 spots and made it 5 if I were to guess. We could not open our doors when cars were parked on both sides of us. We have a full size SUV - GMC Acadia. A Suburban would not fit here. That being said we did not drive anywhere. We bussed, used the light rail, and Uber’d.
Summary:
As many cons as I put, they are all small. It is nice to know what you are getting into and you will enjoy your experience more knowing ahead of time. That being said the Pros are well worth it. It is a great value.
This is a great AirBnb. The kitchen is well equipped. The owners were excellent with communication. The location is great and it is a great value for families or groups to have some more room and be able to cook and do laundry. Will certainly keep in mind the next time we are in Seattle.
