I really enjoyed my peaceful, relaxing stay at Dan’s place. Seattle’s famous icon, the Space Needle, can be viewed from the kitchen area. While sitting in the chairs and bed, I also liked the other view of the huge tree.
When I first entered the apartment building, I was nervous because the building was in need of tender loving care in the entry and hallways; however, when I got to the Airbnb on the second floor, it was lovely. It is uncluttered, and everything is meticulously placed. The apartment is bright and cheery from the natural light and fresh air from several windows. It is equipped with AC too, which came in handy with Seattle’s record breaking hot summer. The pictures are accurate.
This Airbnb is located on a quiet street. I arrived on a weekend evening, and later heard very light music in the background (nothing unusual for a city) which stopped by 10:30 and did not disrupt my quiet and restful sleep on a comfortable bed.
Originally, I planned to make a few dishes for our trip to Mount Rainier, since Rainier’s eating services are sill limited. The kitchen is perfectly set up for basic cooking, but not for some “recipe” cooking. I needed a large pot and a few other cooking items, so instead I cooked at a nearby family member’s kitchen. The Airbnb’s desirable location is next to excellent restaurants, and for most cooking the kitchen would be fine. Dan had even gone the extra mile in advance and bought a new glass baking dish.
This one bedroom Airbnb has a lot of extra storage with 1.5 closets, and an empty lower kitchen cabinet.
Dan is friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area, and a great resource for information. His check-in policy is in person and he didn't use a lock box. I felt bad because we didn’t make our estimated arrival time due to an unexpected delay. He was accommodating about our time change. Finally, his communication is excellent.
