TL;DR review - look no further if you're planning to visit Seattle. Jeff's place is hands-down the most comfortable and best appointed airbnb going. Not only is the place amazing, Jeff is easily the most generous and helpful host I've ever experienced. Don't hesitate - stay here!
Now... onto the longer review...
Let me start off by saying that Jeff's hospitality, the location of his place and the apartment itself all deserve more than 5 stars. This was the perfect spot for me and my traveling companions to call home for our 4 days in Seattle, and I only wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy it more.
About 9 months ago I found Jeff's listing on Airbnb while researching accommodations for our trip to Seattle. I wanted a unique space in a great neighborhood, and Jeff's apartment checked all the boxes. What I didn't realize though, is that the pictures simply do not do the space justice. We were all taken aback by how impressive the space is in person.
We arrived early on Wednesday, and even though the posted check-in time is 4pm, Jeff said we were more than welcome to swing by and drop off luggage ahead of time and go out sight-seeing from there. As an early indicator of how gracious Jeff is, he did us one better than just holding our bags - he was able to check us in a few hours early which helped out tremendously after having flown cross country and needing a quick rest.
The arrival instructions and directions could not have been clearer. We parked, walked to the space, punched in the access code and were in. Immediately marveling at the accommodations, we set our bags down and explored the space. The interior was clean, well appointed, and had everything we could've asked for. Once we stepped outside we were equally impressed with the oasis Jeff had built in the back yard - it was like stepping into a secluded retreat in the middle of the woods. Super quiet, super relaxing.
Shortly after letting ourselves in we met Jeff who toured us around the apartment space, and showed us all the important details including how to turn on the hot tub, work the stove in the sauna, and get the outdoor shower to the right temp. All very straight-forward, and backed up by a very handy printed manual he left in the kitchen.
After getting the details on the space Jeff gave us some great pointers on nearby attractions, breweries, restaurants, parks, etc. Jeff is an encyclopedia of awesome Seattle must-see/must-do attractions and we took full advantage of his knowledge.
I really cannot say enough good things about the apartment and Jeff as a host - everything exceeded our expectations, and I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Seattle.
