We stayed at Erin & Shawn's place for a week leading up to UW's commencement. We used to live just a few blocks away before leaving Seattle, so we already knew that it's a great location with tons of restaurants, entertainment, and public transit options nearby. The hosts were very responsive– one of the showers was clogged upon arrival and they quickly arranged to have it fixed. The townhouse itself is newly constructed, and while it has all the bare necessities, it's a bit sparse and doesn't feel particularly "lived-in". For example, there is no dining table (just two bar stools), no dish towels, and no place to hang a coat, which is a bit impractical given Seattle's weather. Still, we got what we needed– a convenient, centrally located space for all of us, complete with a parking spot. Bonus: Bakery Nouveau is around the corner- try one of their famous twice-baked almond croissants!
