This apartment is a great base for exploring the city. It's super easy if you have a car and want to zip into the city or go to the zoo, and it's easy to take a bus, too. We walked up to restaurants in Wallingford, and Trevor had a really great "house manual" with suggestions. The kitchen has everything you need and the main bed was SUPER comfortable, the sheets were soft and towels fluffy. Washer and dryer were a godsend at the end of our week-long trip. There was even washer detergent and complimentary coffee from (you guessed it) Starbucks. Probably the cleanest Airbnb we have every stayed in (out of 9 places around the world!), and the check-in and communication was effortless. Although we never laid eyes on Trevor or Emily, Trevor responded almost immediately to our messages and was very gracious even when we broiled our cheese bagels a bit too long and set off the fire alarm (fire alarm works great!) Guests should know that they will be aware that there are people above you, and I suspect a kitty is running around up there, too, based on some pattering of feet, but it's to be expected in a basement apartment in a charming older house. The entrance is private and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. Would stay there again if we come back to Seattle!
