If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity of booking this beautiful home, consider yourself lucky. The photos shown on the listing do not do this home justice.
THE HOME
After spending a month here, we could really sense how much care went into every corner of the home. Every piece of trinket & decoration felt like a small piece of history, and you could spend the whole day roaming around the house just to see what you can find (ask Mandy about the paintings on the wall!). During the day, the way the sunlight filters thru the windows & illuminate the house provides you with a sense of calmness, and the furnitures in the house are perfect for lounging - I cannot count how many times I happily dozed off on the orange couch. The backyard with the string lights was perfect for enjoying a couple of drinks in the summer.
THE HOST
The warmness of the house is equally matched by the host Mandy, who, honestly, is probably the highlight of our stay. Incredibly accommodating, and was beyond eager to share with us the story behind her home, while also ensuring that we had our own space during our stay. She has been in the area for a very long time, and has plenty of recs for restaurants and bars.
LOCATION
You can't beat this location, it's central in the city, while also being in a quiet neighborhood. Capitol hill is ~20 - 30 min away by walking, and you can get there in 10 on a Lime scooter or bike. It's brimming with various restaurants and bars, even after a month we felt like there was more for us to explore in the area. International district is also a short walk away with plenty of Vietnamese / Chinese cuisines if that's more your taste. Ask Mandy for her recommendations in the area!
CONNECTIVITY
My friends and i spent the entire month remote working in the house, and never experienced any trouble with the internet.
TL;DR: if given the chance we would not hesitate to book this place again, and Mandy is probably the most phenomenal host we've had thus far!
