The Adorable Sweet Orange Craftsman was all it we hoped for! In spite of my Mom being in a wheelchair, the two little steps up on the porch were no problem, and the place was SO comfy and welcoming!
We arrived from the east coast on a late flight, and were just exhausted when we arrived. Everything was ready for us, including lists of places that would deliver food. There were yoghurts and fresh fruit -- just what we needed before we collapsed into our (REALLY COMFORTABLE!) beds.
In the morning, we discovered half-n-half and COFFEE - so welcome!! There were also common spices and all the dishes and pans we needed to make a few breakfasts there at the house. Trader Joe's was just a couple blocks away, as is the Sunday Farmer's Market. To our delight, the place was only a few blocks from our daughter's apartment. It looked further on the map.
The Sweet Orange is so much more convenient and spacious than a couple of hotel rooms would have been for the same or greater cost. And my elderly Mom was able to nap and take care of herself much more easily and enjoyably. The decor is classy and clean and cheerful, and I was even able to do a couple loads of laundry.
Cassie thought of everything, even orange umbrellas for the inevitable Seattle showers. She even had shampoos and other toiletries, and a blow-dryer, in the linen closet.
Just note, the place is not technically handicap accessible (the single bath includes a tub, not a step-in shower). The third sleeping area is a twin bed on a little porch off the Master bedroom, so your extra guest or child will have to traipse through the Master (our 22-yr-old son chose not to, but was comfortable on the couch). This was thoroughly detailed on the web description, so we were okay with it.
We love West Seattle, and since our daughter and her new husband will be there for a while, we look forward to staying at the Sweet Orange again!
Thank you, Cassie, for making our first AirBnB experience such a great one!
