We had an outstanding stay at Betsy's place in July. Overall, the listing was accurate and clear, the check-in process and communication was smooth and efficient, and the location was in a great neighborhood that worked well as a base for exploring the rest of Seattle.
But as has been noted in other reviews, the real praise is for the many small touches that Betsy provides as a host. Here are a few that we especially appreciated: an incredibly well-stocked kitchen (all the essentials you would expect such as oil, salt pepper, sugar, coffee, tea, etc., but also eggs, milk, snacks, and even a few samples of her favorite beer!); very well-stocked bathroom with extra items easily accessible below the bathroom sink; extra extension cord and phone chargers; canvas and paper bags should you need them for groceries or other shopping; nice selection of games and a few books; and a few other things like a small insulated cooler/lunch bag and even a small backpack in case you needed them for a day-adventure or trip to the nearby park.
And speaking of that nearby park (Ravenna Park), I'll add a bit more detail about the location. As noted in the listing, it is a walkable neighborhood right between Ravenna and the U-District with 15-minute access to the light rail which was a great way to explore beyond the neighborhood without a car. There are several grocery stores and many other places to eat within 30 minutes or less of the apartment. (We were able to get to Trader Joe's just before they closed by walking quickly in less than 15 minutes!) There are some steep streets in the area, but there are usually a couple of routes you can take if you prefer something more gently sloping. Betsy provides detailed lists of dining, shopping, and recreation opportunities in the area, and she's never more than a text away from answering other questions you may have.
One final note -- the apartment does have a step up from the main living area (where you enter) to the bathroom and to the kitchen (through which you access the bedroom). But the layout is excellent for allowing privacy in the bedroom separate from the bright and cheerful living area where you can watch TV. Also, the bedroom had limited bright light in the morning, while the kitchen and living area were sunny. And even though we were there during a heat wave, the apt stayed pleasantly cool by following Betsy's instructions to open the windows (with screens) in the evening and shutting them during the day, as well as using the fan she provided. No complaints at all. It was a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend! Thanks, Betsy!
