This is the perfect place for art-lovers, free spirits and those looking to stay in a non-touristy part of town. Georgetown, I was told, is an up and coming district and it has its own unique flavor and microcosm of businesses to explore over and above the usual spots in Seattle. I found it a wonderful home base to come back to every night and easily developed favorites among the coffee shops and bars.

The Vintage Room was funky, clean & comfy. It's spare, but it's got everything I needed - including a beautiful lowboy, and the shared kitchen and amazing bathroom bested any hostel I've stayed at. The balcony out back, though, is the cherry on top of this place. If I hadn't wanted to explore so much, I would've spent even more hours enjoying it and the unique trailer park park mall that's open on the weekends in the parking lot below it. The vintage furniture and billowing fabric blowing in the breeze are a bit magical.

Angielena is a wonderful hostess and clearly takes pride in what she's created. The whole building is full of artist studios, which she went out of her way to tour with me. She was always available to answer questions & had a lovely, open personality I felt very comfortable engaging with. (This was my first airbnb experience, so that was a bonus or me!). When I get back to Seattle next, I'll hit this place up for a bed first!
