We spent two months at Tyler's place during the summer. It's a wonderful place to stay and we would not hesitate to recommend it!
The house is an an elegant, roomy mid-century bungalow, tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you'd expect. The bedroom is amazing: it's huge, has a ton of storage, and the king bed is incredibly comfortable. There's even a spa-style ensuite bathroom with wood panelling and a Jacuzzi tub. There's a lovely backyard with a huge deck, a fire pit, and a shaded area with chairs. It feels very relaxing to spend time in the house and garden.
We're a couple, working remotely. The two spare bedrooms worked great as office space (we travel with folding desks), the wi-fi is super fast, and the house is big and spacious—so simultaneous online meetings weren't a problem.
Tyler is a fantastic host. He was very attentive and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. For example, after a heat wave hit he installed a portable A/C unit in our bedroom and gave us a voucher for dinner at a local restaurant to say sorry for the heat. We hadn't even complained about it! Tyler has a living space attached to the main house in an in-law unit, but he's hardly ever there and the house feels very private.
The house is in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood with a ton of trees. It's a perfect place to go for a run—there's a big forested park and a running track a mile or so north, and the surrounding streets are fun to explore on foot. It's close to shops, and also to Lake Washington, which is another great place to go for a walk. It's also a quick drive to Green Lake—excellent for swimming—and to the various neighborhoods in the north of the city.
We loved staying in Tyler's house and were sad to leave. In fact, in two full years of traveling the country and working remotely in Airbnbs it was one of our favorite spots. It feels like a relaxing retreat from the busy city. Thank you Tyler for hosting us!
