What a wonderful first AirBnB experience! The host was very responsive to our questions and usually responds within 30 minutes. It was so thoughtful for them to send us tips before our trip like local restaurants and how much a Lyft from the airport would cost. The check-in process was easy and the apartment was nice and clean. We loved that the location was within walking distance of the market, Westlake station, and Belltown. Right around the corner was a lovely french bakery that made for idyllic mornings.
The only thing to keep in mind with the space itself is that the building is a bit old. The hosts have done a great job of designing the space to feel bright, clean, and modern. However, the age of the building meant the interior doors were hard to close and the windows were a little thin. Since it's on the ground floor and the windows are old, you can hear people in the courtyard very clearly. After a quick test, we found no one outside could hear us which was a relief. However, if you're a lite sleeper this is something to consider. Thankfully, the neighborhood itself is pretty quiet, so we weren't very bothered by it.
