I’m not someone who generally uses the phrase “hidden gem”, but… if there ever was a time to call an Airbnb stay a “hidden gem”, then this is it.
The stakes for this “vacation” were pretty high - this was the first time my mother would meet my new partner (!) and we would stay all together in the same enclosed space for two nights (!!) but Diana and Karin’s private space was less expensive than others that I saw around Seattle… so even though I couldn’t understand why, I decided to take a chance on the booking.
After staying in their home, I think that this booking was less expensive than the others only because Diana and Karin are lovely hosts who care about pricing fairly. This is a cozy, tasteful, well-equipped space with a lot of neighborhood character. All of us loved our stay and thought it was a superior value for our money. My mom even made a comment that she “thought Diana and Karin were people she would like to know” (!) which really speaks for itself.
Thank you, Diana and Karin! You helped make this a great weekend. We signed the guest book!
