Close to Seattle Children’s Hospital (about a 10min. drive), great restaurants, and everything else Seattle has to offer! This rental would be ideal for someone traveling solo or as a couple — small, but comfortable.
Thoughtfully placed amenities (for instance, in the bathroom, where you’ll find an extra towel hook next to the shower where you can hang a complimentary robe, or the strategically placed towel bar right over the heating vent for a toasty post-jacuzzi treat, or a cute cubby hole for eau d’perfume right next to the toilet).
Matching fixtures, luxurious appliances, modern upgrades, and aesthetic decorations do the house justice. We could tell the hosts put a lot of thought and care into their guests’ stay.
This is one of the only Airbnbs we have stayed in (so far) that has comfortable furniture! The bed was to die for, and the couch was both sturdy and stylish.
Extra pillows, blankets, sheets, towels, washcloths (even black ones for your makeup!)?? Check! Literally everything we needed was right there, and it was all high quality.
Some advice for people visiting with infants/toddlers/kids:
First of all, there’s only one bedroom, which we knew when we booked the rental, but we really thought we could make it work. And, we did!
Like all older houses, it definitely had some quirks — like the incredibly squeaky floors, which made it hard to keep our one year old asleep. As mentioned, this rental would probably be best suited for someone traveling without children (although we proved it can be done!).
The decorations are lovely, but they are all very light in color (white rugs and babies do not go together well!), and as to be expected, we had do some baby proofing. Be especially aware of the very sharp corners of the stone coffee table!
The hosts also have a pack and play available should you need it. We found the kitchen to be the best place to keep our son asleep the longest, although we made the mistake of closing the swinging kitchen door when the heat was on and the room got toasty enough to wake him up.
We would love to stay here again, but we realized that a second bedroom will be necessary for any future trips to SCH. Hopefully my husband and I can take a romantic getaway so we can truly enjoy everything this rental has to offer without watching our son like hawks.
