the place is newly renovated with a modern aesthetics from the decor to the amenities provided throughout the house, and it smells so good that it made us feel at home and cozy while staying there! It has everything we need from the kitchen to bathroom toiletries so you can just bring yourself to Seattle and explore the city. There's also a small fridge and coffee machines in our room. The common area (couch/sitting areas) is shared with other guests staying in the house, but it felt private in our own room and was generally quiet in the house during our 4 nights stay. The location is about 10 mins drive to downtown/Pike place and we were able to find free parking across the street from the house as well as on the side of the street next to the house. The host is very responsive to messages and great communication. Highly recommend!
