A superb home base for exploring Seattle! I stayed at Bird’s Eye for several weeks to visit nearby family and take in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It quickly became my home away from home.
The space itself is welcoming, bright, and included everything I needed for an extended stay. The windows face downtown and watching the reflections of Elliot Bay and the Olympic Mountains off of the adjacent buildings became a daily ritual, especially at sunset. I did remote work during the week—the internet speeds were excellent for my video calls and the dining table doubled quite well as a big office desk. The bed is comfy and the shower is strong.
Outside there is much to see and experience. Pike Place Market is right around the corner and the waterfront just beyond that—a great place for afternoon walks! Having a car (with the optional parking space) allowed me to visit many of the great hiking and scenery options just an hour or two outside of the city. Both the art museum and the symphony are essentially next door neighbors. There are dozens of restaurants nearby featuring all types of cuisine, not to mention several coffee shops and brewpubs for sampling some of Seattle’s favorite beverages.
Hosts Michael & Kathleen were extremely helpful, accommodating, and kept in touch to make sure everything was going well. A great experience all around!
