Eli’s & Heather’s place is a lovely place to stay while in Seattle. It’s a close walk to beautiful Greenlake (a 3 mile loop), as well as to great grocery stores (PCC!), bars, and restaurants. They are also super thoughtful hosts. Eli greeted me personally along with their adorable dog, Thompson. He helped me understand how to work all the locks (the backdoor to the private deck is a big tricky) and stayed in quick and responsive communication. He shared a Google map with me with all their local favorite spots within walking distance, which was appreciated. Their place is really stylish with a beautifully landscaped garden.
The loft itself is totally private and tastefully decorated with everything you need, including a thoroughly appointed kitchen that feels more like a home than an AirBnB rental. I was quite comfortable here and hosted a friend for drinks and snacks on the private deck balcony. It was really cozy with the glass wall doors open fully, the gauze curtains offering us privacy, music on the Bluetooth radio, and electric candle lights. Eli & Heather provided complimentary delicious local wine, beer, snacks, and coffee which was such a nice touch.
I also appreciated that Eli texted to tell me the couch fold-out bed was an option. That was more comfortable for me, rather than the loft (I’m tall and the sloped ceiling wasn’t ideal for my height). Oh, and the AC is a godsend when the PNW has a heatwave as it did during my visit.
All in all, a really cozy, comfortable private place to stay with kind and considerate hosts. Thanks, Eli & Heather!
