We arrived, early, around 1:30 and Dirk was there, preparing the loft for our stay. We felt instantly welcomed and were able to leave our bags there and go in search of lunch. Dirk let us know we could come back after 2PM and all would be ready and it was! This was on Dec 15 and I was in Seattle to celebrate my birthday and this was also my first AirBnB experience! And now, all future AirBnB experiences will be based on this - it was that nice of a stay. Well located (right next to the International District and walking distance to Pioneer Square, shopping , etc). There's even a handy notebook filled with dining suggestions, etc. in the loft and we read through it and made mental notes of much of it! Would we stay here again? Yes!
