Here are the pluses and minuses of a stay at M’s.
Pluses:
- the location really can’t be beat, a walkable neighborhood in the heart of Queen Anne
- the apartment is immaculately clean upon arrival
- the place is very quiet
- M’s garden is a real delight
Minuses:
- as a basement walkout, the apartment is dark, even on a very sunny day
- there is really no way to get fresh air in the bedroom when sleeping at night
- checkin was off-putting: despite my wife and I having used Airbnb for years and having dozens of stellar reviews, we were asked to present government issued IDs for verification
- the house rules are also off putting: paragraphs of legalize, much in ALL CAPS, with lots of threats of punitive consequences for non compliance
