I wish I could give this place 10 stars out of 5. It was one of our best Airbnb stays ever, hands down. Here's what to love about Rita's place:
1. The location was ideal for a visit to Seattle, and we were always able to find street parking within a block or two.
2. The space itself is so ROOMY! There were five of us and we had plenty of room to spread out.
3. The space is gorgeous. Rita has decorated it with pieces from all over the Middle East, and she even gives out free cookbooks with recipes from her father!
4. The SNACKS! Rita was so generous in the snacks she left for us. Cereal, oatmeal, granola bars, candy, chips, drinks, etc. I have never experienced hospitality like that at an Airbnb before.
5. It was all spotless.
Two things to keep in mind are that there is no stove (like the listing states), and that there is a large tinted window with a world map etched on it between the dining room and master bedroom. If privacy is your utmost concern, know that.
Overall, we would stay at Rita's place again and again when visiting Seattle. If it's available, I highly recommend booking it. Thanks Rita!
