We lived here for about 45 days when we moved to Seattle. This was essentially the first home for us on the west coast when we were looking for a more permanent housing situation in the area.
John and Leila are great hosts on many levels. To name a few: they helped us refill household necessities like the dishwasher detergent; they brought us a Christmas tree and waffles that really made it homey; they helped fix the wooden gate when a grocery delivery person accidentally damaged it. What stood out the most was their respect for privacy: they always sent us messages before coming over so we could socially distance (due to COVID-19). In addition, they did a phenomenal job ventilating the place before our arrival: there were multiple fans running at both levels of the house, and the windows and doors were all opened. We had complete peace of mind during our stay because these little things add up.
The house itself is outstanding with so many interesting and functional objects: the living room houses a guitar and a good pair of speakers with a receiver; there is a myriad of sculptures and paintings throughout the house; two monitors and a printer for working from home. They also have many books covering a wide range of topics. The entire house has a bright, light, and upbeat feel. We had everything needed to get our work done and live comfortably.
There is a beautiful garden in front of the house with various plants and solar-powered lights that mimic the effects of a torch that looks really great in the dark. The trees also provide an excellent barrier from the streets to give the place a high level of privacy: you can peek between the leaves to get a sense of what is going on outside and at the same time don't have to worry about being exposed. The neighborhood is very quiet but convenient enough to get to places quickly, which helped us a lot with the house hunting in the area. This location supports grocery delivery which is a huge plus. Note that some other Airbnbs are so remote that they don't support grocery delivery.
In summary, I highly recommend this place.
