Janet was an exceptionally hospitable host. I really enjoyed staying at her place for a number of reasons. One reason is that each of the two bedrooms has its own bathroom, and one of the bedrooms also doubled as an office space that I made use of. Further, I am a huge fan of quality bakeries and was delighted that Janet provided me a pastry from one of the best bakeries in Seattle each morning, along with a cappuccino. (This bakery is very close to her place so if you want more pastries you should definitely pay it a visit.) In addition, Janet provided fresh fruit to snack on, which is a big plus in my book since it is difficult to eat healthfully while traveling.
Janet’s two dogs are absolutely the sweetest dogs, ever, It was nice to say hello to them as I came and went from her townhouse during my stay.
I slept very well during each night of my two-night stay at Janet’s place because my room was very quiet (did not notice noise from the surrounding neighborhood) and the sheets were 100% cotton. Cotton sheets are something worth noting because many Airbnb’s use sheets made a synthetic fibers (presumably, because they are inexpensive). Such sheets feel very soft; however, they are not very breathable which means I often sleep kind of sweaty in them and therefore become chilled in the night.
Tips: Janets place is right across the street from a very good coffee shop. (I purchased two bags of coffee from this coffee shop before leaving town.) As well, I really enjoyed my dinner at a Sri Lankan restaurant (“Rupee”) that was only a few blocks away from her place, too.
