“Cozy Home” is the perfect name for this gem in Wallingford. From the moment I stepped in the door it felt homey and warm—it’s a perfect example of the whole being more than the sum of its parts.
From the small touches like the fairy lights on the front porch, to the design and layout of the dwelling, everything has been considered with comfort in mind. This was my second longer-term (over 2 weeks) Airbnb stay this year and this one just got better over time. The kitchen layout is perfect for cooking and the appliances, utensils, cookware are all outstanding (and the espresso machine is a nice little luxury).
The bed was very comfy, as was the guest bed according to my friends. The bathroom was so well-designed I took pictures! On a rainy day, I was very content to stay in and just read. I also fell in love with a polite little cat that came to visit. The guest book had mentioned “Clooney” and one day, there he was at the back door. Cat treats were kindly provided and I made a wonderful new friend.
Being just a block from the Burke-Gilman trail was a big attraction and I rode for many happy hours on the train and through the Wallingford/Fremont area. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe, and although the houses are close together, Stina and Don’s place felt really private. The area restaurants and markets had everything I needed. Ivars Salmon House is a few minute walk and the dock is a great place to watch the water activity.
I wouldn’t change a thing here. It’s perfect. Thank you so much Stina and Don for a lovely getaway at your cozy home.
