ABOUT THE UNIT: The unit and neighborhood is precisely as the pictures show and description says. The unit is clean and in new/great condition. There is a cleaner that comes in prior to check in. Linens and towels are turned over after each guest + hotel-esque soap and set up is ready for you. There is a bottle of wine, 2 sets of house keys and a Welcome binder that is in the kitchen for you. Talk about welcoming, thorough and professional! Contents include: welcome note, unit features (heater, appliance info, neighborhood information, transportation information). I couldn't be more pleased. The neighborhood is charming. The building is an older one and this unit is a new reno project. I stayed here for the long weekend and it was perfect for exploring Seattle and feeling part of the friendly, hip, historic, and vibrant Seattle community.

ABOUT AUTUMN: She is the best! Professional. Welcoming. Efficient. Accommodating. Communicative. Sweet. The booking process is seamless. Reminders are sent via email. Communication method is your preference: air bnb message, email, call, and text. I prefer text and Autumn provided expedient, clear, and friendly hospitality. I honestly felt like I was visiting a friend once my plane landed in Seattle. She meets you at the building to go over any questions and we had an awesome conversation and I was able to ask a local about fun, must-see, must-eat, must-do spots for visitors and for locals (which is my preference). Autumn gave great suggestions and was just a joy. I highly recommend renting with Autumn because she makes the logistics of your trip easy and welcoming.

NOTE 1: Check-in as at 4pm. While they can sometimes accommodate an early check in, they may be able to arrange dropping your luggage off (as space permits). Just ask Autumn. She provides easy directions on how to do this. Then go up to Broadway Street or to Volunteer Park to check out the many hot-spots and the local charms of the cute neighborhood known as Capitol Hill.

NOTE 2: X-street to the building is Republican E Street. Its literally 25 steps from the building. There is a Pronto station where you can rent a bike for 24 hours or 3 days. This was PERFECT! We biked the neighborhood and then one morning biked to Pike's Place Market. There's a drop off on Pikes and 3rd, near the Ross Discount Store. This was a memorable and active way to see the city and just enjoy the air and all the flowers along the way.
