Eric and Arisa are amazing hosts! We had a group of 7 friends staying there (and 2 guests who visited during the day) and it was more than perfect! Everyone had their own bed, plenty of towels/linens, and ample bathroom space. The living space was what sealed the deal for us to book this home - and it delivered! The big open kitchen space, into the dining (comfy chairs for 8, and you can squeeze in 2 more bar stools if needed), into the living room (with lots of seating) was exactly what we wanted for spending time together downstairs.
The house is decorated beautifully and very bright - with lots of lights coming in. The view from the living/dining room is amazing!
Our trip was unique in that Seattle was experiencing an uncharacteristic snowstorm. This meant that we were stuck at home - and we're fortunate to have been stuck at THIS home! Without us asking, the hosts shoveled the steps and salted them, which we super appreciated. The house is very well stocked with supplies, from toilet paper to the kitchen/cooking goods! We woke up every morning and ground up fresh coffee beans (in the first jar on the kitchen counter) for a big pot of coffee for the whole house. One morning, we walked nearby to Despi Delite Bakery and brought back croissant donuts, ube bread, apple fritters, and more to share with everyone. On another morning, we cooked at home with breakfast food that the host had for us there, eggs, bacon, and bread. It was perfect!
We stayed close most of the trip - so we frequented several places nearby on foot, including the convenience/gas station nearby, a dim sum (Daisy) location, the grocery store (Hilltop Red Apple), and the brewery (Perihelion). In terms of getting there, some took Uber/Lyft from SeaTac and some took the light rail. It's a pretty short/easy walk (10 mins or so) to the nearby station that takes you directly to/from the airport, and plenty of other places.
The hosts were great with communications! They live in an apartment below the home and we never heard them. With a group of 9 playing games in the living/dining space, our combined laughter can quickly be loud. I reached out to the host to let them know, and they quickly responded to let us know it was definitely not an issue. If it hadn't been for the shoveling of the thick layer of ice/snow on the steps, we wouldn't have run into them. We're a pretty friendly group, so a handful of us went out to meet the hosts and their sweet dog, Charlie. As if the kindness they shared so far couldn't have been topped, they were even sweeter in person!
All in all, I can't say enough nice things about this home and the hosts. Our group gathered from our home states stretching from the west coast to the east coast, and made a weekend home together in Seattle, largely in thanks to this AirBnB!
