There is so much to say about Shannon's place that I honestly don't even know where to begin. First and foremost, Shannon, as a host, was by far the most accommodating and helpful person I've encountered through airbnb. She promptly responds to any and all questions you have, and is quick to offer up great recommendations once you arrive.
The space itself was amazing. Located on a quiet, residential street with ample parking, this surprisingly large "basement apartment" (quotations because calling it that somehow doesn't do it justice to me) is exceptionally well maintained and decorated with beautiful and hip mid-century modern vibes; it looks like something out of a interior design magazine but still manages to feel cozy and lived in thanks to the small decorative accents and and personal touches throughout the apartment.
Shannon was also generous enough to stock the place with ample fresh towels (I've never seen so many clean towels in one place!), bathroom toiletries, and plenty of kitchen gadgets (both basic and novel) to tide you over no matter how long or short your stay (I honestly didn't miss the microwave at all!) To top it off, she leaves a handy dandy binder that is chock full of local places to explore, as well as informative tips for those who might be unfamiliar with Seattle (e.g. recycling, parking, etc.)
I can honestly say that staying at Shannon's has been the most pleasant experience I've had through airbnb and I can't wait 'til I'm in the area again, with fingers crossed that her place is available!
