The apartment is the basement floor of a family home. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and is really comfortable to stay in, with all the amenities you might want in a small apartment. Two of us stayed for a week and a half because I needed somewhere to work online from while I was in Seattle, and it was perfect for this. The shops and restaurants on 65th street, and slightly further away up on Phinney Ridge are really great to have in the local area. It's also a reasonable (but longer) walk to both Ballard and Green Lake. As it is a basement, you can sometimes hear the hosts walking upstairs. Theo and Maria were very helpful and responded very quickly when we were messaging. In the end we only met in person once, when they helped me do a load of laundry in their laundry room. They were really nice, and this lack of contact was fine by me during the current pandemic situation. (We were all careful to wear masks when we met.) Overall, a great stay!
