From the outside, this 359sf Airbnb looks small. Upon entering, it appears much larger due to carefully managed open space. The host provides a modern de-cluttered, clean area as well as keeping the comfort of the guest in focus. It is easy to stay organized with special guest spaces: dresser, empty kitchen cabinet, hooks, etc.
The lighting is impeccable with 12 recessed lights and 5 windows and double doors. It no longer a typical dimly lit garage. This is one of the quietest Airbnb rentals you can find in the area due to it’s uniqueness of not bordering any street, but rather only a back alley. Having a designated parking place is premium in the city. The kitchen is well equipped.
While the city houses are close together, the patio achieves privacy with fences, firs and trees. I had daily breakfast in the courtyard and enjoyed looking at the garden and birds. Central District is in Seatac’s plane route, so you will both see and hear departing planes outside. Even so, I found the patio area peaceful.
Directions from the host are clear, concise and inclusive of all travel options to the Airbnb. The electronic door lock allows for a fast check-in.
As several reviewers already mentioned, you are conveniently located next to many of Seattle’s great restaurants. I enjoyed Kedai Makan Malaysian restaurant. They usually have a long waiting list, but we were able to wait at my kids’ house as long as we responded within 10 minutes of the restaurant’s text.
