We were lucky to be Kristine's first guests in this adorable tiny home two weeks ago!
PROS:
*Kristine is a great communicator and fantastic host--fast to respond; checked in several times (especially since we were her first guests) to ensure we had everything we needed and that all was well with our stay; she made us feel very welcome and that we were valued guests
*House is just as pictured! Clean, neat and well stocked--all you would need in the kitchen for cooking a meal (although with 3 short days we did not have the opportunity to do so); a few games easily played by 2; iron, ironing board and clothes steamer (all came in handy as this was our first Airbnb in Seattle over the course of 2 weeks, and attended a wedding the night we checked in to Kristine's rental); bathroom had travel size shampoo, conditioner, soap and moisturizer, cotton swabs and cotton facial pads, first aid kit, fem hygiene products
*Bed was extremely comfortable! Firm but plush, we slept wonderfully each night!
*Extras--Kristine stocked the fridge with single serve juices and Ellenos yogurts (worked great for us each morning for breakfast) and a bottle of wine!
*Patio--2 sitting areas outside--the Adirondack chairs for lounging and the table and chairs were perfect for a game and drinking wine, the string lights were lovely in the evening!
*AC--nice to have as the first couple of days were hot, and it has a fan mode
*Sitting area in the house--while the built in sofa (which I believe can double as a single bed for a 3rd guest) is in the same area as the bed, the room is plenty large, the TV is mounted to the wall but swivels out to face either the couch or the bed for comfortable viewing
*Location--GREAT location in Ballard; easily walkable to restaurants and shops, but in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to 15th Ave for the Ballard Bridge, 99 and I-5 to get to other parts of Seattle
*Parking--we were out in our car each day, and were always able to park on the street right in front of the house!
LESSER PROS:
Bathroom--this is an old house with many charming features, one of which is a clawfoot tub with shower--the water pressure was really good and there is a seriously solid grab bar for getting in and out, however, if you are a person with mobility issues you may want to think twice (I am 5'2" and a clawfoot proves a big step in and out for me)
Highly recommend staying here, Ballard is a fantastic area of Seattle, the house is set back and gives a pleasant private feel! Hard to imagine anyone not enjoying this Airbnb, book it!
Thank you Kristine!!
