This space is exactly as described and I found the reviews to be right on in terms of some of the attributes and challenges.
Pros: location, value, great towels, ease of check in, communication with the host. I found two hair dryers in the kitchen :) and was grateful to have made that discovery! I was taking the bus the next morning and chose this listing mainly because it’s easy walking distance to the Amtrak station. Pike Place is also about an 8 block walk, which was amazing!
Cons: I found the smell of the unit rather curious - maybe a little musty or just the result of the heat and humidity of the heat wave. The fridge was struggling to keep items cool and unfortunately the couch had been broken by previous users of the space, which Darcy left a note about. I appreciate that it must have been very hard to try to find a replacement quickly and she can hardly be faulted for that. The dryer was full of clean linen, but I did’t need to use the appliance so wasn’t inconvenienced by that, but would have been put off had I planned to. I found the mattress seemed well past it’s prime and worried I wouldn’t be able to sleep, but I found a spot on it that was more supportive and had no complaints! The wifi was very spotty and I had significant trouble getting a consistent signal.
My one night there was just perfect. Thank you Darcy!
