A few fixes could make this place a wonderful place to stay.
Kitchen was overstocked but missing a few key items like a toaster, dish towels (one was provided) and a working refrigerator. They did respond quickly to our complaint that the refrigerator was not keeping food cold but were unable to fix the issue. We ended up needing to throw away food that had spoiled. It was disappointing to not have cold beverages during a very hot week.
Suggestions would be to take a good inventory of items and storing away duplicates. This would allow room for an empty cupboard so guests could store items off the counter. Replace fridge and add a toaster. Although there were plenty of cleaning products they weren’t appropriate for wiping down counters. Or do simple cleaning.
Bathrooms had plenty of towels. There is a washing machine that is also a dryer located in the main bath.
Main bedroom closet had a toddler bed and changing table but the changing table was stored where you would hang clothes making that space awkward. Beds, linens and pillows were comfortable and appeared clean.
Bunk bed was broken so one child had to sleep on a crib mattress in her parents bedroom. We could not find bedding for the crib or toddler bed.
Home was furnished nicely and fairly comfortable. We stayed during the one hot week in Seattle. The main house windows don’t open. The host provided 2 fans which worked great (no a/c). The others rooms were uncomfortably hot. We were able to open the front and back doors which had screens to cool the house in the evening. We ended up adding 4 fans which helped although it was still hot inside.
The downstairs unit was rented out but that wasn’t a problem.
There are many opportunities to make changes in the backyard which would make this place very appealing. As another reviewer suggested, toss out the dirty unusable toys clean out the woodpiles.
The back deck was a nice place to sit but unattractive due to a large filling cabinet and cleaning products. The top deck off the main bedroom was lovely.
This beautiful home in a wonderful location could be such an incredible rental if some money was invested into better organization and yard maintenance or update. And of course a/c!!
I really hope that they do not allow renters in until the fix the fridge.
