Awesome host. If you are looking at the place on google map, it's an old google photo, the facade of the front of unit does not do the place justice. This is my first time using AIRBNB and the photos provided were exactly what the place looks like, absolutely beautiful. Our family was amazed at the place. Everything is in like new condition. I did not realize that his window/porch view was actually looking towards U. of Washington's campus. This place is fully equipped washer/dryer, pots/pans/utensils/ glass ware/dining plates. Don't know if the laundry detergent/ dryer fabric softener sheets/ bleach/ shower shampoo/ shower conditioner/body wash were left behind by guests or if provided by host, so we didn't have to make a trip to Safeway. There are internet access and cable provided. Host has provided not just a place for guest to stay, but really a home away from home, with all the amenities you would need-even a house vacuum. Some habits are hard to break, I see a vacuum- I just have to clean-LOL. UW is within walking distance over University Bridge to campus and worth the walk the first time you explore the area. There is also a French Pastry shop(Le Fournil-3230 East Lake Ave E) 3 min. walk/ .1 mile around the corner of host's place, definitely worth getting up for. It opens at 7 AM-fresh pastries and coffee, so you can enjoy it on the porch and watch row team. For lunch or dinner , there is Agua Verde-1303 NE Boat St on UW campus-a Mexican eatery with patio and view of Portage Bay looking towards host's home. It's about a .8 mile(17 min walk / 4 min. drive) . You will want to walk off your meal afterwards and see UW's gorgeous campus. The place is so centralized that getting to downtown or out of town is super easy even with traffic. If possible, I will be making plans on staying here again and watching HUSKY football, next fall.
