We literally got back from 10months traveling abroad and Susie and Mike’s place was the first place we stayed back home in Seattle while we were house hunting.
Their place is amazing. And we can easily say it was one of the best places we’d stayed in 10 months.
The apartment is fully stocked for whatever you need. Personal touches are everywhere so you don’t feel like you’re living in some drab after-thought of a apartment. It feels like a home. Everything is brand new and in pristine condition.
The kitchenette is set up with everything (cutlery, plates, bowls, utensils of every kind), including a hot plate to make meals. The mini fridge is large enough to store a weeks worth of food. We should know; we did. Plenty of coffee and tea for your day and Tupperware for leftovers.
The room that makes up the living / dining / kitchen space is bright and inviting. Large enough that you don’t feel stuck with others you’re with. The couch is very comfy with warm blankets. The TV operates on a regular antennae or Chrome Stick so make sure you can “cast” things from whatever devices you have if you feel the need for video entertainment.
The bedrooms are large and well thought out. Each with a closet and dresser. Plenty of hangers for clothes. The master has a private 1/2 bath. Beds and pillows are super comfy without being too soft; we prefer a slightly firm mattress.
The bathrooms like the kitchen, are fully stocked with everything and well maintained and clean. Towels are new and fresh.
Outside there is ample parking for multiple vehicles on the street. The neighborhood is quiet and a quick 20min drive to downtown Ballard where all the bars and restaurants are or a 10min drive to Greenwood or more bars and restaurants are located.
Really we cannot say enough good things about our stay. Aside from the apartment being great Susie and Mike are also amazing people. Easy to get along with and to have a conversation with; you’ll feel like a fiend immediately.
We would happily stay here again and are glad we had the privilege of being their first guests!
