Jeff’s home is a cozy and central location, emplaced within walking distance to public transit options as well as eateries and sights, with a 5-10 minute walk to the light rail, or depending how lucky you are with where you are going, buses just around the block or the ones next to it. Also, we weren’t even aware that it was just a block away from the Amazon HQ buildings until we got there. There is a parking lot your cab/lyft/uber/unfortunate enough friends from Seattle can drop you off and stand while you shuttle your bags to the lobby and up a very short flight of stairs.
We got this Airbnb due to its centrality and its facilities, which included the much-needed European washer-dryer that was a lifesaver for the trips we take. It had an extremely well stocked kitchen of amenities, including all the culteries you might need. A jug of water was also thoughtfully filled and left at the fridge. We never had the chance to really use the whole kitchen but we are pleased that we could theoretically do ample cooking with the supplies provided. I suppose the only feature that caught us off-guard is the bath faucet taps, which were the pull-push type we never really saw before on our trips elsewhere and was so scared to break or spend too much water with, but everything worked fine in the end.
The home is located in a surprisingly very central area. Even if it did open up to the fifth avenue monorail tracks, it was remarkedly quieter than we thought it would be as the unit is above street level despite being on the first floor. If you are a light sleeper however, you might want to consider noise-canceling headphones or similar to help you sleep, but since we were late-goers and early risers we had no problem with the sounds of buses and the monorail buzzing around.
I highly recommend this Airbnb for a no-frills experience if you want a central location without the central location premium.
