It was just as all the others have said..."All the comforts of home"! The bed was very comfortable, nice desk/table for computer work, etc.. (wifi worked perfectly), comfortable couch for watching TV (HD picture a bonus of a rain-soaked day) or for eating (on TV tables no less). Made good use of the microwave and refrigerator, and Amanda has provided a more than adequate supply of dishes, glasses, and silverware, along with a good selection of teas, and even some soy milk in the frig. There are lots of lights in the room, so you can read/work wherever you'd want, and you have control of the temperature with a nice space heater. The bathroom is only 2 steps outside your room, and it was well-stocked and spotless. The shower had plenty of hot water (and water power), and Amanda provides soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels (I haven't had a bad experience at any previous Airbnb stay, but Amanda definitely goes above and beyond expectations to make your stay comfortable.)
Parking was convenient (driveway, or right in front on the street), and it was an easy 4-block walk to catch a bus straight to downtown (much easier than trying to park in downtown Seattle).
There is no traffic noise, and the house was also very quiet.
I'd definitely look forward to another stay in "Friendly Ballard"...Thanks, Amanda !
