I come to Seattle every 2-3 months for business and usually stay at the hotels in the U. District. For some reason the prices were incredibly high this trip, so I thought I'd give an Airbnb a try. I found Brian's Guest Suite and it looked like it checked all the boxes.
Best decision ever.
There are great reviews for Brian's place, but even so my expectations were exceeded. The space is clean and stylish - everything is so comfortable, and there are so many thoughtful touches all over the place. If someone were to give a seminar on how to set up a perfect airbnb that makes your guests 100% satisfied, Brian would be an excellent choice. Great internet, good TV service, in-unit washer/dryer, a fridge and cabinets stocked with water, bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, snacks and drinks, and great fast communication with the owner. I may have depleted the chocolate bowl a bit. While I didn't use it this trip, there is a nice office area set up off the kitchen.
All in all this is the best airbnb experience I've had anywhere. From now on when I travel to Seattle, I'm not going to bother with the hotels anymore - this place was great, and I plan to stay here as often as I can.
