This was my first experience with Airbnb and I am thrilled with my stay. John and Bridget have created a lovely oasis in Seattle. This is not a studio, it is a perfect small home with absolutely everything in place for relaxing at the end of the day or rejuvenating before you head out again. The kitchen is new and fully equipped for any meal preparation, as well as a large table at which to share the meal. The bathroom is large and clean with loads of towels and hot water! The living area has several chairs, a large closet and a comfy bed. It truly felt as though we were coming 'home' every night we were there. The off-street and secure parking is not the 'norm' for Seattle, especially when it is included! I enjoyed the location in West Seattle and would recommend it. Coming to or from the city was magic. Entering West Seattle from the north allows one to avoid the congestion of entering from the south. Seattle is tons of fun but at the end of a busy day I really looked forward to taking West Seattle Bridge and a 10 minute (8 minute?) drive to be out of the traffic and chaos of the city.
There are so many wonderful places to dine and shop along California Street. The beach and views along Alki Avenue to the West are stunning.
I was helping our daughter relocate to Seattle and the convenience of this ground level mini-home was perfect for us to pack, repack, shop and repack some more.

But the very best part of our stay was our hostess Bridget!!!!! Try and find this anywhere else: On the day before our departure we had taken all of my daughters belongings to her new home and returned to Bridget's to spend the last night together. The next morning I took what was left and put it in the car with me for an early drive home. My daughter was left with her back pack and what she needed to catch the bus and go to class. Except.... I took her pants. Yup, I left the kid in the house with no pants, and I was two hours down the road when she called. Not like she could walk over to California Street and buy some, because, well, she had no pants. I phoned Bridget and explained our 'pant-predicament'. She could not have been more gracious or understanding, and within minutes she delivered 'emergency pants' to my daughters doorstep. My daughter showed up on time to class on her third day of school, thanks only to Bridget. Absolutely incredible.
So that's it.... peace, privacy, quiet, convenience, space, value.... and then there's Bridget.....
