Steve and Jocelyn’s place is fantastic. It is beautifully decorated, yet homey with special touches like fresh flowers and comfy robes for two. It was clean. It was quiet, and we never heard anything more than cars passing by occasionally on the street. The kitchen had everything you might need to cook - basic pots and pans, bowls, salt and pepper, spices, oil and vinegar - and we made breakfast most mornings and one dinner. We loved having cable to watch the news and movies at night. The bed was extremely comfy. We enjoyed a drink out on the back balcony at night, which was great.
Another great aspect is its location. It was blocks away from shops, a Trader Joe’s and a Safeway grocery, a cupcake shop, a drug store, a wine shop, and several nice restaurants. It was nice to come back after sight-seeing to have dinner close to the Airbnb or to grab some groceries for dinner. There are also a few buses blocks away to take you to downtown and I’m sure other locations. We also used Uber and it was about $10 to the Space Needle, Ballard and Capital Hill. The neighborhood itself was beautiful, and we really enjoyed walking around it.
Finally, Jocelyn and Steve were great hosts and were responsive to our questions. We appreciated the instructions they have in the apartment. They also gave us some restaurant and sight-seeing tips, which we appreciated. Overall one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed in.
