Overall, this property is incredible. However there were some things that I did not appreciate about this stay, that I think others should keep in mind while booking.
Cons:
- The upstairs neighbors clearly did not like that there was an Airbnb below. They were INCREDIBLY loud both late at night and early in the morning, way past the “quiet time.” This must’ve been a problem for past people, because I noticed Luke included earplugs, which was extremely nice of him and helpful for us. Because the temperatures were so hot, we left the little window open every night, one of the neighbors decided to spray her hose into the window and soak my clothes that were lying below.
- Speaking of the temperature, be aware that this stay has no AC. Typically this would not be a problem at all in Seattle Washington. However, we just happened to book the hottest weekend of the year with temperatures above 110°. Thankfully this home is in the basement, so it was considerably cooler than outside but still uncomfortable.
Pro:
- The location! The view right outside the property is phenomenal! In fact, for two meals we just sat in the back of our car and looked out over the beautiful bay while we ate.
- The cleanliness! Being in a basement, I expected to see many bugs and cobwebs. That was not the case, this property was so well-kept and clean! Overall, very impressed with how clean Luke keeps the place. He even left a sanitization station with Cleansing wipes, masks, and hand sanitizer.
- The layout! This home is exactly as pictured on the website, I was beyond impressed to see what they did with the space. In addition, The home was a smart home, so everything was controlled by Alexa. This made our stay extremely convenient.
- The communication! Each time we needed to contact Luke, the communication was immediate and kept professional.
Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb!
