The host Leslie is very kind and friendly, excellent at communications, I really appreciate talking with her and share some personal experiences. I don’t often stay at shared places but Leslie being so responsive and helpful when needed certainly made it a pleasant stay.
The location is excellent, I had a car and it is around 15-30 minutes to any parks I wanted to visit. (Discover park and Seward park are the best! Check out Jefferson park and gas works parks as well!) Also easy to get to international district and downtown using light rail. Parking is easier than I thought everywhere(maybe because I usually go at non-peak hours - weekday afternoons) There are great coffee/pastry shop and restaurant nearby also. 10 mins walking to those as well as a grocery store.
Regarding the listing - I’d say it’s a bit different from lots of other places I’ve stayed at/my personal style as it’s rather less “modern”/“minimalist” but more filled with lots of Interesting small stuff that seem to carry various interests or memories. The listing pictures are quite true to the fact so you can get some feelings by looking at those. Had to admit I was not used to it the first day but then gradually start to appreciate the setting. The king bed was super comfortable, and the bidet in bathroom is a very welcomed surprise.
Overall it’s a great stay, be sure to contact Leslie if you have any questions(kitchen, places to visit…), she’s, like said, very responsive and helpful.
