I stay in a lot of Airbnb’s in and around Seattle, this unit in my opinion was just okay. Nothing went wrong, stay was fine, check in / out went smooth. Communication was excellent. But given the price and fees, I’ve stayed in much nicer and updated places. This unit is located on a busy street three floors up. So the street noise is apparent. Which doesn’t bother me and they were clear about that in the description, but what they didn’t point out is it sits above a bar. Normally you wouldn’t think during the work week this wouldn’t be an issue, but both nights (Tuesday & a Wednesday) the bar had outdoor seating and the chatter from the people was loud and obnoxious. I could literally hear conversations clearly from drunk people until the bar shut down. This happened both nights. So I got very little sleep. I realize this is out of the control of the Airbnb but I feel like this needs to be mentioned. So either come prepared with ear plugs or some sort of noise protection to sleep.
Other notes:
Overall it felt a little like grandmas house. It had a smell of old. The bedding was a mishmash of grandma looking bedding. Lots of walkable destinations. I felt relatively safe, however there was a lot of transient people in the area, but where aren’t there in a big city.
