Booking:
This was only my second Airbnb booking.
Location:
I needed a place for a small group of us -- convenient to public transportation (light rail/bus), coffee shops, restaurants and a supermarket; this place met all those requirements and more. Located in a historic Seattle neighborhood, which is a bit hilly but close to many conveniences.
Environment:
The house is immaculate and has a great layout – two en suite bedrooms, an open floor plan, a kitchen that overflows with natural light and a large island that beckons you to relax there with your morning coffee. Though it’s a two-family home, it’s very private and quiet; we had the entire 1st floor and access to a small outdoor patio.
Communication:
Information about the house on Airbnb was accurate and clear. The hosts responded quickly and to the point to my questions before, during and after booking. Instructions left by the hosts were well-thought out and anticipated guests’ needs.
Hosts:
Mike & Kathleen were very accommodating when our flight arrived early in the day and we needed a place to store our luggage before check-in. It was fun to finally meet and chat with our hosts on our last day. Will stay again when I’m back in Seattle—it’s a rare, bright and peaceful gem in a busy city.
