Marilyn is one of the kindest, most considerate and welcoming hosts you will ever encounter on Air BnB. Her warmth and hospitality is a standard that few could reach. Her cooking is also superb, and nothing is too difficult for her. The rooms are huge with a cool lighting set-up (so much so I forget that lights in the real world are not automatic). The Central District is an up and coming area so I really enjoyed that whole funky yet eclectic vibe which sums up the quirkiness of Seattle and its growth spurt at the same time. It is a little far away from the action (Capitol Hill, downtown, Ballard, etc), however, I love walking, so the 50 minute walk to South Lake Union was great with plenty of coffee shops on the way. And buses are aplenty (just get the One Bus Away App to know your way). There are some nice neighborhood bars (shout out to Neighbor Lady and Chuck's Hop Shop - Land of 1000 beers) and homely food joints (the Sotelo food truck is amazing) as well as a Trader Joe's, Safeway and Grocery Outlet in easy reach as well as a 24 hour gym a 10 minute walk away. There is a some reasonable street noise given the location but I am not bothered by noise (if you are, best ask for the back room). The bathroom is lovely and clean as is the kitchen and Marilyn adds super sweet touches (bananas, granola, etc., for the first bit of your stay until you get settled). All in all if you want somewhere that is not the standard Capitol Hill haunts and a marvelous host you cannot do better. I especially recommend staying if you are new to Seattle and finding your feet. Marilyn will make the landing very soft.
