Having frequently used Airbnb for leisure travel, when I encountered sticker shock for a last-minute business trip to Seattle, I opted to use Airbnb for business travel. Staying at Robert's space far exceeded my expectations!
Arriving a bit later in the evening than I had expected, I was met by Robert with a welcoming greeting (despite having been given instructions on how to access the property). He was extremely friendly and immediately made me feel at home - a genuinely gracious host.
The space was immaculate and tastefully decorated - exactly as described and as the pictures reflected. It was comfortable, cozy and private. There is a tremendous pride-of-ownership evident in the property (something I greatly appreciate when staying at Airbnb properties).
Having lived within blocks of the property over 20 years ago, I was familiar with the neighborhood and remember it being clean and safe while having an nice neighborhood energy - it was nice to see that hasn't changed. There are plenty of cafe, restaurant and shopping options within just blocks which makes this a great location to stay, be near the amenities without being in the heart of downtown.
While I only stayed for a matter of hours (had am early work meeting the following morning), I look forward to staying at Robert's property again any time I head up to the Emerald City. A truly top shelf experience!
