Robin and Emily's place is spacious for 2 people. the living area is super cosy with a comfortable L- shape couch and a big TV.
the kitchen is wonderfully equipped. we cooked at least a couple meals at home. we asked to borrow a hand mixer for baking a cake, Emily bought one for us the next day. we were very grateful.
overall our stay was pleasant, despite some notable events. it was an unusually cold winter for seattle and the place was quite cold. we stayed for 2 months, and the furnace was fixed two weeks before we left.
for ~1 week we experienced some problems with big black flies. Robin and Emily were very responsive and bought an electric zapper and some other tools that took care of the problem.
below are a more detailed pros and cons.
pros:
- very nice apartment with good working and entrrtainment space
- very functional kitchen and tools
- comfy couch with big tv
cons

- not enough hot water for shower
