Where to begin? We've stayed in many, many Airbnbs over the last several years, and this one was perfection! Colette, the charming and generous host, did such a lovely job in designing and outfitting this treasure. It must have truly been a labor of love, and it surely shows. The guesthouse is so beautifully laid-out, making it quiet and comfortable--and really nice to look at, too! Everything is designed with comfort in mind, and all the special touches are impeccable and very, very pretty. There's A/C--yeah! (so grateful for that, as it was really hot for a few days during our week stay), a washer and dryer, really nice linens, a bang-up-adorable kitchen, a comfy bed (we only used bed in the master), gorgeous lighting, sumptuous hand soaps and shampoos and the like, and on and on and on. The master bathroom was killer, and the bathroom on the main floor (where the kitchen and living area are) also left no detail behind. My husband kind of moved into it, and used it as his space. A couple of additional things that really stand-out about the property itself are that it has the sweetest little garden patio (accessible off the master bedroom, which is on the lowest level) and an abundance of natural light. Windows are everywhere, which I seek out, particularly in a city like Seattle. I believe I heard/read that Colette is a master gardener, which makes total sense, as all the pots and flora were in amazing shape. The outdoor furniture seemed to be brand-spanking new, too, and very upscale.
Finally, Colette is exceptionally communicative, kind, responsive and accommodating. I was wondering if she had a lamp just hanging out so that I could read by it--and boom! In it came. We spent some time with her and her husband---both are nice, funny, smart and full of great stories and information! They're really wonderful people, and I can't wait to go hang out at their beautiful abode again!
