Alex's place is incredible. I spent a month here and loved every moment. The neighborhood is cute - an easy walk to many local spots that Alex recommends as well as a quick jaunt to beautiful Greenlake for a lovely stroll around the lake. The place itself is incredibly comfortable, well appointed, with a very comfortable bed, a great couch and TV for lounging, everything you need to cook some basic meals. Alex was an incredible host - very responsive. She would occasionally leave out some little seasonal treats, and I even had the pleasure of meeting her two adorable dogs. She is clearly dedicated to being a warm host while still giving guests plenty of privacy.
If you are traveling to Seattle and want a neighborhood feel outside of the bustle but still a close drive to major attractions, it really does not get any better than Alex's place. This has been one of my absolute favorite AirBnb's ever and I would recommend it to my closest friends and family.
