Elta’s cottage was the perfect lodging for my solo 4 day trip to Seattle. The cottage is completely separate from Elta’s home but is only 10 ft away at the end of the driveway. So there definitely is some privacy. Esp with all the windows having blackout curtains.
The space was modernly decorated with a very cozy feel. The cottage was impeccably clean, something not often found during my prior trips with Airbnb. Elta even provided some various breakfast bars and fruit as snacks during the stay. It should be noted that the space was ideally sized for just myself, but would likely feel a bit cramped with two people.
The cottage uses a murphy bed which folds down from its home in the wall. While not very soft or cushioned, it got the job done. Personally, I didnt have any back aches after a full nights rest, so thats telling. The linens and bath towels were new-looking and freshly laundered. Best part of the experience, by and far, was the heated floors in the bathroom. Game changer for people like myself with poor circulation and perpetually cold feet.
The cottage has a 40 inch smart tv mounted to the wall in the corner right next to the bed. Its situated directly across from a very comfy couch. Perfect for unwinding after a long day. Easy to access Netflix or any other streaming service.
All in all, was very happy with my stay. Elta’s communication was fantastic and she was very accommodating. Would definitely book again!
