Magic's unique loft style bedroom definitely grabbed my attention. The layout made me reminiscent of a business hotel, but with more amenities and a bigger feel. I could see a couple or even a small family being comfortable here. You got everything you need for cooking a quick meal or reheating leftovers.
Eco-friendly building, so yes, the walls are a little thin. You can hear people coming/going in the stairwell and you can hear your neighbors next to you if they are being loud. The good thing is the quiet hours helped curb the noise. I'm a light sleeper, but I was able to feel well rested.
It's a more residential area and felt safe with there always being a few neighbors walking their dogs, plus the Airbnb is behind a locked gate.
There aren't any shops immediately down the street, but the street car runs parallel and you can get to it in a couple minutes of walking. Then, you can get downtown or to Capitol Hill in under 15 minutes. Instead, you can walk, 10 minutes toward the Seattle University, then there are multiple places to eat along the street. I only took transit a couple of times, because I preferred to walk. You can get to Pioneer Square in a little over 20 minutes just by walking or even some places around Capitol Hill. Just be ready for the hills 😄.
Magic was super responsive and a delight to communicate with before and after the booking. I didn't have to reach out with any concerns, but I am confident he would address them if I had them. He was also flexible about arrival and departure and didn't want me to feel rushed.
I'd recommend staying here if you need a cozy place to crash for weekend or for a weekly stay.
