Gray’s suite is a good solution for someone who basically needs a place to sleep and have quiet privacy. It’s small but efficient and very clean. It’s well located near a main street in West Seattle and was good for me in that bus transportation and a deli market were within a block. There is a shopping center a few minutes ride away - Westwood Village. And there is a nice breakfast cafe .2 miles uphill from the residence called The Birdhouse.
The cozy room/suite is comfortable and clean. The kitchenette corner of the room has an electric appliance to heat water which is good for making tea or instant coffee. I also got cold brew coffee at the deli and heated it in the microwave which worked fine for me.
The bathroom shower provided a good spray that got hot quickly once I figured out the new mechanism.
Heating is good.
The unit has its own washer/dryer which is a great plus if you’re staying long enough to need it.
Gray communicated promptly and accurately. Checkin was easy. The unit is down a long stairway from the street, with several addresses in the development. So you have to venture down the stairs to locate the unit entrance, which made it challenging in the dark.
Overall, Gray’s suite was a good solution for my needs and a good value for the price. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.
One guest review complained that the curtain between the room and the stairs up to the main apartment was not secure. I personally felt fine that there was adequate separation from the upstairs host, and the sound from her moving about was minimal in general. The unit’s location is in a quiet area, and the host is considerate. She only came down briefly to bring me an ice tray, which I asked for.
All in all, I was very comfortable in Gray’s downstairs unit for a week’s stay.
