Flor's Airbnb truly embraces the philosophy of offering one's home and hospitality to everyone that comes to stay. She was kind enough to pick me up from the airport for a small fee, take me to the organic grocery store, and even give me a tour of the local attractions before we arrived at her home. Her kindness is truly remarkable in this fast paced world. She has taken great care to provide a beautiful and comfortable room with fresh fruit, snacks, sodas, coffee, and water.
The bed is comfortable and she had in-room table and chairs for breakfast and a great place to study since I was in school. She has a refrigerator, toaster, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. The room has a very nice fan but not air-conditioning which worked well for the cool days but not as much when the weather warmed if a guest wants air-conditioning.
I used the Lime Bike community rental which is available in her area. I rode a community bike (great phone app) to get groceries at a QFC (with organic products) which was a 5 minute walk from the house.
Her home is located close to Carkeek Park which is a great park and beach to Puget Sound...about a 30 minute walk to and through the beautiful park. Great food in the Ballard area, again a short bike ride away with great bike lanes. Flor even loaned me a bike helmet.
Also great bike lanes to the Arboretum and wetlands that takes you right along the Washington River. Even rode a bike to school.
Flor has an open kitchen policy so I was able to cook myself great meals instead of always eating out. She and her family always invited me to join them when they were cooking. Flor being from Peru comes from a very generous and family focused culture. She truly made me feel like a part of her extended family.
I can't say enough about this great place to land for your Seattle experience. Uber was available for a quick trip to the local food co-op and my trip to the airport. Look no further, Flor's home is the best!
