A friend and I came up for a girls' weekend, to hang out together in Seattle. This apartment is centrally located on the ground floor of a decently busy street in Capitol Hill—this means that you'll easily walk between shops, restaurants, bars, and light rail ... but that you should bring earplugs if you stay in the front room on the sleeper sofa, as cars and police cruisers (SPD's East Precinct station is 6 blocks away on the same street) will roar by at all hours.
We were both very disappointed in our host's approach to unexpected circumstances: The dishwasher was broken when we arrived; it initially leaked and then flooded the kitchen floor. The dryer was broken too, so no way to dry soggy socks (from accidentally discovering the leaking dishwasher). Host took a while to get a handyman out for the dishwasher, and while the handyman stopped the leak, he didn't have the part needed to fix it, so we had to do dishes by hand. For whatever reason, the handyman left a big mess of soaked towels in the kitchen sink and cleaning supplies all over the floor for us (the guests) to clean up. We basically begged the host for a partial refund for all of these hassles, and she said she'd need to think about it. When asked again after we checked out, she gave us a partial refund of the cleaning fee. Which was honestly the _very_ least she could do, seeing as we had to do a fair amount of the cleaning ourselves.
So while the place was fine (again, a little loud due to street noise), we wouldn't stay in any of the host's many Seattle Airbnbs again—and that's entirely because of how the host handled/botched the dishwasher issue and turned her problem into ours.
