This is going to be a very honest review. Being my first AirBnB experience and rental, I rented this location hoping it’d be as nice as the pictures seemed. In all honesty, it was more. The entire place felt so homey, with beach-like decor. There were plenty of amenities from utensils and kids’ kitchenware, even though it was just my girlfriend and me staying there. The binder of tips, notes, and concerns gave us so much insight on the location and surrounding too for a comfortable and active experience. We actually felt at home there, despite being there for only three nights; and I felt so sad having to leave after our stay because of how enjoyable the location was. Quaint, comfortable, but still plenty of space for the both of us. The neighborhood was so welcoming too. Coming from rough Los Angeles, we weren’t used to kids running around having fun, people walking their dogs, neighbors welcoming us and making small y’all, and above all an actual public neighborhood block party.
Sure the place was a decent ways away from downtown by bus. Sure the floor creaked/lifted right in front of the bedroom. Sure one fork out of many wasn’t clean before we used it. But did any of that affect our stay? Definitely not. The entire place otherwise was spectacular despite these minuscule “issues” that were beyond our control. I highly recommend Shelley and Ken’s location for staying at Seattle. In fact I would love to rent again when I am able to visit next time around!
