My wife and I flew out to the Pacific Northwest for a celebratory trip. We spent a week with our homebase in Portland and finished out our adventures with two nights in Seattle. Our time in Seattle was short, but sweet. Alex and Jose's place was in a perfect location, within walking distance to all the touristy sights.
The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, spices, measuring cups, a blender and everything we would've needed to whip up some food. We didn't utilize this as much as we had hoped during our stay, but it was a great option and one we admire in an airBnB.
The decor was inviting and well coordinated. The black/white/navy theme was super stylish and felt very modern. Alex and Jose have great attention to detail and it's clear they know what a traveler is looking for. Also, the bed was firm and very comfortable (something else we admire in an airBnB!).
Our first night, we walked deeper into town and found an awesome new vegan joint "Life on Mars," named after the David Bowie song. It had a very 70's vibe, while still being very modern. The food and drinks were incredible. We then hit up Salt and Straw for some tasty ice cream.
The second day, we checked out Pike's Place Market, but were a bit overwhelmed. If we had longer in Seattle, we could've set aside an entire day or two just to exploring that labyrinth. We also walked to the Pop Culture Museum, which was very fun and saw the Space Needle.
We were ready to go home and see our dog after this long trip, but we had a blast exploring the Pacific Northwest. Alex and Jose's place was the perfect home away from home to help introduce us to this crazy city.
FYI: Parking in Seattle is a little nuts. This place comes with underground parking, which is a huge plus. Once we were parked (very tight!) we said "We're just going to walk everywhere!" And we're glad we did.
