I had an excellent experience in Seattle. This was my first time using airbnb, and I couldn't be happier. For half the price of a hotel, I got my own apartment. It's cute, well-maintained, and clean. The host was unobtrusive and helpful. The location is a little hike from amenities, with restaurants a mile or so up the hill, and the grocery about a half mile down the road, but it's doable. The apartment has low-ish ceilings, so if you're super tall this may not be the place for you. Stoked on my experience. I'd definitely stay here again.
