A great experience! My parents had never been to Seattle, and I had only one brief prior visit. I was tasked with finding a place to stay, and searched all the recommended hotels. We wanted easy access to downtown and also to experience the flavor of local neighborhoods. With Seth's place, we got the best of all worlds. It was less expensive than city hotels; the location is perfect; and the home is fabulous.

After comparing hotels, I called my buddy in Seattle, lamenting at the high prices of hotels. He is an experienced traveler and directed me to AIRBNB.

Seattle hotels are expensive. We saved money by staying here, and did not have to pay taxes, costs or parking fees. We had a full kitchen, several separate bedrooms, and parking. The house gave us all privacy plus an open eating and living area so we could hang out together.

The location is great. In Wallingford, enjoy Murphy's, the local Irish tavern, a grocery, several decent restaurants, and, of course, coffee shops abound. You can walk to Fremont and its market and great shops, quick drive to the Ballard locks, and immediate access to both 99 and I-5. Easy access to downtown, the fish market, sculpture park, and day around Puget Sound. My friend lives in West Seattle, another cool neighborhood, and we never had to drive more than 20 minutes to get to his house. I spent a day walking over to the University, checking out the campus and local shops, and a great lunch at Thai Tom.

The house is a modern and clean, with three separate bedrooms. I stayed downstairs with a full bath, and my parents two floors up, with their own master bedroom and full bath. In between was the full kitchen, gas stove, eating area, and living room with couch and chairs to watch the large screen tv. Wireless internet included. The coolest was the top floor -- full roof access with view of the city and Lake Union - just awesome.

Seth was absolutely professional, and always in easy contact. The weather was sunny, mid-70s every day. No rain. What a beautiful city.
