Michelle's place is a dream! The block smells like lavender, there are adorable rabbits in the summer, and I woke up to the sound of birds singing every morning. The huge bed is so plush I looked forward to falling asleep every night. The bathroom and kitchenette were stocked with everything I needed and more; I bought groceries for the most part. The washer and dryer are so top of the line that doing laundry is a pleasure. Thanks to some smart landscaping, the suite stays nice and cool, even on hot days.
Great location - there's a cafe and a tailor a short walk up the street and a grocery store about a ten-minute walk away. The bus stop is a block away and will take you to downtown Seattle by way of California Ave (the main drag of West Seattle where all the restaurants and shops are).
Most of all, Michelle is an awesome host and a great communicator who will make your stay as pleasant as possible.
I needed a place to wind down after long, stressful work days, and reader, I found it in a little suite in West Seattle with a door that looks out to a stone Buddha meditating beneath bamboo.
