Joyce's home is located in a great neighbourhood – very central. It felt totally safe walking around at night and it was close to the main attractions – great for a first trip to Seattle! The place is basically what is pictured and described – very small but fine for a couple. However, I would not recommend it for a long term stay. When we booked, the listing stated "free parking on premises" which we assumed meant a driveway, but be aware that there is only street parking. We never had trouble finding a spot close to the house, however it did get quite busy later in the day. It's also good to note that the wifi was extremely slow.
We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the place. Although tidy and clean at first glance, it was quite dirty and evidently had not been deep cleaned in a long time. Overall it was very dusty and covered in thick cob webs and a few dead bugs on the ground. The tiles in the shower are not sloped properly and, regardless of using the squeegee, the shower kept a musty smell that only got worse days after using it. The soap that was provided in the shower was a used bar of soap. The long shower curtain separating the kitchen from the bathroom was also very grungy. We did bring up these concerns with Joyce and she refunded us our cleaning fee with no questions asked.
Overall it was okay, but just okay. It's advertised as a cottage and it feels like one.
