The Positives-
Location - The place is located in one of the nicest residential neighborhoods in Seattle. Walking distance to a big park and a street with some nice cafes and restaurants. A quick car ride to Eastlake where there are more options and a bit further into downtown Seattle. Also not far from Bellevue and Mercer Island.
Host - Professional, responded to our messages in a timely manner and was reasonable to deal with.
The Negatives -
Value - We unfortunately picked the wrong weekend to come up to Seattle. Very low availability of rooms. We couldn't even find a rental car. So we WAY overpaid for this place, given the quality.
If you are looking for a place with charm, this is not it. The unit is located in a 4-5 unit building that looks like it was bought and renovated to be used for AirBnB rentals. Furnishings are very basic. More in line with a corp apartment. Minimal furniture. Desks with no chairs (we used the ones from the dining room table). It seemed like the host provided the bare minimum that AirBnB requires. Bed mattresses were good and we all slept fine. As mentioned in the listing, kitchen appliances are new, although we didn't use them while we were there, except for the fridge.
They also wanted to charge us for parking and use of the in unit laundry. Thankfully they waived the charges (I assume given how much we were spending) but I am seeing more and more hosts trying to extract additional money from guests with extra charges that are not communicated until AFTER you book the place (in our case the day before we were supposed to arrive)...so keep that in mind.
