Rachael's apartment is perfect for tourists who plan to spend their time in Seattle exploring Seattle. We loved our stay and would visit Seattle and Rachael's apartment again.
Our positive experience began before we arrived in Seattle. As soon as we booked the Airbnb, Rachael reached out regarding our flight number and arrival time. She recommended a few different means of travel from the airport to the Airbnb (we elected to take an Uber because we had been delayed). When we arrived at the Airbnb, we were greeted by Katie, who, in around ten minutes, told us how to enter the apartment building and the unit and showed us the amenities in the apartment itself and the building. Katie was kind and even offered some recommendations for the surrounding area.
The apartment is relatively small, but it has everything a tourist would need for a stay in Seattle, especially one who spends the visit exploring the city. The kitchen area has a large refrigerator; the living room area has a small desk with a computer monitor, a couch, and a small TV; and the bedroom area has a bed, a bureau, and a nightstand. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked with towels, shampoo, and conditioner.
The apartment is in Belltown, which is a great place to stay for tourists. Belltown has a ton of great restaurants and bars, a number of which are walking distance from the Airbnb. We went to Tavolata for dinner, which was great, and then Shorty's for drinks afterwards. Shorty's is a great place for cheap beer and people watching.
Belltown is close to the other neighborhoods we visited while in Seattle, so we were able to move around easily. Like most Seattle neighborhoods, Belltown is very friendly to the many electric scooters and bicycles that can be found on most street corners. We took electric scooters or bicycles to every neighborhood we visited while we were in Seattle: Magnolia, Discovery Park, Ballard, Gas Works Park, Queen Anne, Pike Place, Downtown, and T Mobile Park. We only took public transportation or Ubers to and from the airport.
Overall, we loved our experience and would highly recommend staying in this Airbnb.
