First of all, all the photos shown on air bnb initially were not the unit we moved into. Photos were changed to current unit day of move in.
The internet was very spotty all day. The landlord suggests you get your own internet subscription for a consistent connection. Factor that in if you work from home or enjoy streaming from anywhere other than the living room. We were told basic streaming for Netflix would be okay, but not the case.
The washing machine is very loud and old. Only accepting quarters, it is $4 total to wash and dry laundry. Price was increased during stay.
The oven’s dials had worn off so there was no way to know the temperature until we bought an oven thermometer.
Landlord is very responsive. Issues with we had with some water leaking from bathroom sink was resolved in a timely manner
We loved the location, there was lots of free parking very close to the home, and the proximity to the lake is amazing. Lots of great restaurants nearby and Daniel has a lot of suggestions for things to do in Seattle if you’re not familiar. We enjoyed being able to throw a duralog on the fireplace during the chilly winter. We loved living in Eastlake and the place has its charm, but be prepared to spend on basic things (laundry, internet, appliances, cooking utensils.)
Futon and bed were pretty uncomfortable for a long stay unfortunately so made it rough for us to hang out in our space comfortably. For a short stay place is great. It has the old Seattle apartment charm. If you’re not spending a lot of time hanging out in the apartment, we recommend.
