This was my first AirBnB experience, and I must say it was a great introduction to traveling minus the col of a hotel room.
Admittedly I was nervous about staying in someone else's home, however, I was surprised at how comfortable I was as a private introvert. (I'm sure having access to your own bathroom and living room in addition to your bedroom probably helped that comfort zone, huh?)
Brian's home is beautiful and his sweet and loving dogs would make anyone want a dog—or maybe just wish their own dog was that cool with strangers...
Anyhow, I would recommend a stay at Brian's gorgeous townhome any day. It's quite comfortable, well-maintained, and located a block from public transportation or a few dollars in Lyft or Uber fare to the Downtown areas.
Side note for Celiacs: As a fellow Celiac Disease sufferer, there is SO much available close to Brian's home—chains such as Homegrown or unique options like the "I [Love] my GFF" food cart—as well as plenty of dining options in Seattle overall. I was leery my first and second days there, and found myself more concerned about not venturing too far from food I could actually consume without killing myself...and found that there's enough safe options around every corner and facet within the Eastlake, Westlake, Fremont and Ballard areas that I could venture without worrying about my health constantly.
It was a dream. (So much so that we're officially moving to Seattle now.)
I hope this review helps in your decision-making process of where to stay.
Best wishes,
Sara
