We arrived early in the middle of some winter weather and were able to check in early, for which we were grateful. The host even came and shoveled the snow off the steps for us. The place was very clean and warm. We needed a few items after we arrived and the host was quickly responsive. Unfortunately the snow turned to freezing rain outside and it became impossible to navigate the streets and sidewalks, so we were stuck indoors for a day, but we felt very well taken care of. The home and appliances are not very modern or fancy, but it was comfortable and suited us. The location is unbeatable—short walk to shops and restaurants on 45th or to Woodland Park. Quick bus ride to Fremont, the U District, or Ballard. Right off Aurora and close to I-5 for driving. Lots of street parking. Small quibbles about the beds (too firm for my taste) and the shower (too narrow, so you are fighting the curtain), but I would stay again—hopefully in better weather next time!
