I don't even know where to begin as this is a special review of Todd & Cris' AirBnb. We originally reserved their beautiful bungalow for 6 weeks and ended up staying 5 whole months due to the COVID-19 outbreak. So we got to know the place and Todd & Cris very well :-)
The Airbnb: This place is perfect when you need a home away from home or a quick getaway. It is sparkling clean, with a really accessible kitchen/living room, a gorgeous big bathroom, a king bedroom and a cool loft that can be used for many things other than sleeping - including yoga! They have a sweet little front yard with a table for 6, which makes you feel like you're in the secret garden :-) and a small deck with a breath-taking view of Lake Washington. Their place is pet-friendly, which is such a bonus for people like us who travel everywhere with our two chiweenies. One thing that we noted (which was amazing) is that everything has soft or rounded edges, which was helpful as we had of 6 month old with us, who started to crawl during our stay!
Our favorite part of their AirBnb was the gas fireplace. Nothing better than sitting on the couch with the fire going and staring out across the lake. Talk about peaceful (which is what we needed during this crazy time!)
Todd & Cris: Regarding the basics, they are SUPER responsive and accommodating! We were greeted when we first got to the AirBnb by Todd, who just wanted to let us know that if we needed anything, they were always available. We ended up needing random things due to the length of our stay (including a coffee grinder) and, within 5-10 minutes of reaching out, it was sitting on our front porch or taken care of.
Beyond the basics: Todd and Cris are amazing people! You couldn't choose a better couple to stay next to. We got to know them really well, as I mentioned, and they didn't hesitate to help us as we navigated through the Stay-at-Home orders. They will leave you be if that's what you are seeking in this rental, but it was so nice to say hi to them every day, and have that personal relationship since we were told to stay 6ft away from everyone else. After 5 months, we leave considering them friends :-) I wish the same for all of you who get to stay with them!
