I will leave the opinion to the readers but just list the facts of a few things…
The location is great! Right between the infamous Pike Place Market & Space Needle. (Both ~5-10 min walking distance each way from Airbnb) Neighborhood is loaded with restaurants, not only walking distance, but right outside the lobby door.
Host will arrange for early check-in, if possible, for an additional fee for early “maid” cleaning and parking in garage (through Apple Pay).
Prompt and clear instructions were given about consciousness of noise level after a certain time and hardwood floor care or a $300 fine will be issued.
Parking garage seemed safe and secure. Host will provide detailed instructions about rules and access. Initial access is a bit complicated and easier to accomplish if accompanied with at least one other travel companion. You may want to inquire if you’re someone who has limited mobility. Perfectly fine for most people.
The place itself, was not clean. Even though the host mentions a “maid”. It’s clear someone occupy’s the residents from time to time, as dirty clothes and random leftover/dirty “things” were all about in the space. Take-out napkins, silverware and condiments is what’s provided. In addition, to some leftover food and ingredients. The host also asked specifically the relationship in which the person I was traveling with and assumed we would only be needing one bedroom. As a result the guest room was not cleaned.
Laundry and Dryer in unit. No detergent is supplied. They’re bodegas right on the same street you can buy some, if you did not bring any with you.
There is a private balcony that overlooks the city that has a nice view! The concrete wall is high, so you have to stand for the view. If you plan to spend some time out there or want to spend time out there with company, there is only one chair.
Also, only ~20 min (early Sunday am) hassle free drive to SEA-TAC airport.
