Host: Tess is a 5-star host without a doubt. We were in Seattle for a family reunion and requested to arrive a day earlier, she modified the reservation with ease. She also let us self check-in, which was nice since we had time to sightsee after our flight. And she gave us a late checkout too! Communication with Tess was a breeze as well.
House/Location: Nestled in a residential neighborhood of Capital Hill, the house was quiet and had lots of space for 5 adults and a toddler. Also very close to Volunteer Park. It was a bit of a walk to coffee shops, but there were a couple great ones less than a mile from us.
Overall, a very pleasant stay and I'd comfortably recommend Tess' place for families that want a quiet home base but still close to the Seattle sights!
