Lisa and Steve's place is a gem. It is the (large) basement of their home which is extremely warm and cosy and full of their own personal knick knacks.
They are fabulous hosts. They knew we were getting into Seattle in the evening so in the fridge was a bowl of fresh blueberries, some yoghurt, butter, jam and milk and they had left us cereal, bread, and other goodies too. Much appreciated after a longish flight as we didn't have to turn around and find a supermarket to get breakfast stuff.
I stupidly left my I-Pad in our previous Airbnb in Scottsdale and Lisa very sweetly suggested that we ship it to her office (so that we didn't have to wait around all day for the delivery man) and brought it home for me.
Mt Baker is a wonderful old neighbourhood of Seattle full of beautiful old Arts and Crafts houses - of which theirs is one. There isn't a lot close by in the way of cafes and restaurants but the one they do have - Mioposto - is fabulous.
We didn't rent a car as everyone online said that parking in Seattle is a nightmare and we were amazed at how easy it was to get around and how cheap. We fully expected to use Uber or Flyte but the No 14 bus (from just up the road) takes you all the way downtown to Pike or onto the Olympic Sculpture Park for $2.50 return! We never waited more than ten minutes for the bus either. We also used the light rail and the mono rail and all were great value for money and efficient.
All in all we couldn't fault our Seattle stay in Mt Baker. Five days wasn't enough and we would love to return.
