Pluses:
Views. Dramatic view of off your shared balcony.
Location, location. Queen Anne is a premier residential area, close to downtown, tourist attractions, bakery & pub nearby.
Clean. Spotless.
Spices. If you cook (we didn’t). Most Airbnb’s provide the basics like salt & pepper, but seems like Vince included everything for an extended stay. More than a dozen spices for example. Not sure what “pizza spice” is, but it’s there!
Efficient use of limited space.
Soft bed. If you prefer firm mattresses, you won’t like it, but I thought the softness was cozy.
In room washer dryer. Great for extended stays.
Minuses:
Bathroom fan runs 24/7. So a bit of white noise even with door shut. Hosts made no apologies for it. Not sure how that squares with Seattle building codes. I suppose you could flip the breaker if fan motor started shorting. Someone had removed the smoke detector from the hallway outside the bathroom and placed it on the window sill of bedroom. My guess it was going off from steam coming from bathroom. Hosts said they would send someone to fix the smoke detector location right away, and I have no reason to think they didn’t.
No way to turn off the light on shared balcony. It’s on a timer. Problematic if you have a partner who snores and you try to sleep on the couch in living room. The window shades provide some partial relief, but room will still not be dark. Hosts view at as “safety” issue. The adjacent unit had their light taped over. Wonder if they could compromise and use lower wattage bulb, or come up with darker shades?
