Beautiful scenery, when the weather is doable. Very nice location, easy access to Ballard about a 10min walk from all accessible shopping places (target, CVS, goodwill), laundry place is just a couple blocks from Peggy’s place as well as many food locations! (yum!)
Buses were just around the block! If getting straight to downtown grab the 28X and your there!
On a side note, the bed was super comfortable & the heater works like a charm! (Comfort goes a long way! I accidentally set it to High and I about fried!). Although the bed sheets smelled a bit weird, but it wasn’t too bad after I slept in it (I’m sure if you have a problem with that, ask Peggy and I’m sure she’ll be happy to get you fresh sheets!). Bathroom was great, very clean (did see ants but only like 2 of them on my last night there) so it’s to be expected…this is a place with a shared kitchen, Peggy was wonderful for letting me use her kitchen to make my lunch. One thing though that threw me off was on how messy the kitchen was, & how there was fruit fries hanging out in the area. (But I was cool with it) & the WiFi was very slow, although I was fine without but just be aware…was planning to do some teleworking but it didn’t work out for me.
Overall, would recommend for a first timer Airbnb guest or a single traveler. Check in & check out were quite simple and Peggy has been such a hoot to be around & loved her stories of Chihuly’s work from the Glass Garden (is a must see).
Ask her for things to do around Seattle, she has a ton to recommend! Also there are booklets & a little manual she had made of things to do in Seattle in the room that is totally private + bathroom!
