Kristen's place is the perfect home base for adventure and exploration around Seattle. It's cozy and welcoming, full of lovely decor that creates an extravagant and engaging atmosphere, and - in good weather - the generous patio space provides extra room for relaxing and unwinding.
Although I'm a former Seattleite who knows her way around, Kristen would be a fantastic host for someone unfamiliar with the area; she's so friendly and helpful. In most of my Airbnb travels I rarely interact with the host, and it was a nice change of pace to meet one! She warmly welcomed me on arrival and gave a quick and orienting tour of the basement apartment, which was so helpful. On our second night she even dropped off some of the very best chocolate chip cookies!
This would be a fantastic space for a solo traveler or for couples (or even if you have a toddler as I do); Kristen is really a wonderful host and her place was such a perfect space to stay.
