TLDR: 4/5 because this place is not quiet/noise friendly.
I pride myself on being a guest who leaves honest reviews and not just blanket "great stay!" Comments.
I would recommend staying here if you plan to spend the majority of your day/time not in the space (ie: you have a 6 am rise time or have late night plans). I say this because any time spent in the space trying to unwind or relax was met with the feeling that you're staying in the basement of someone's home (which you are)...
Pros:
The bed...yes, it is as comfortable as advertised. I am a small person and often dislike memory foam mattresses because they're not forgiving to my lightweight when sharing the bed with others. Often in a memory foam bed, I find myself being pulled into the indent made by the larger or heavier person because my size isn't enough to counterbalance the mass...
That being said, this bed is A+. I slept so peacefully every night and didn't toss or turn. Felt like a nice cradle to snooze in.
The space overall is small but clean. Nice fluffy towels (and washcloths *IYKYK*) to use. Cool and clean bathroom and a nice kitchenette space as well. Thanks for the Brita water too!
The entrance and access instructions were easy to follow (be warned if you plan to drive, Seattle streets are narrow so parking is tricky). The pathway to the unit also has solar-powered and motion-activated lights so no stumbling over bricks or walking through unknown terrain in the dark.
Cons: The "noise". To be clear, this is a basement-level unit in a home. As such, expect to hear everything. At times my partner and I were uncomfortable because we would hear everything happening beside and above us. When we arrived jet lagged and tired we decided to take a quick nap but we were startled awake when someone started yelling at the TV during what we assumed was a mariners game. It was as if we were right in the den listening and watching the game too.
Later on, during dinnertime?? We could make out more of the conversation being had above us than not. We shut the vents to mitigate the sound but it wasn't enough to muffle the conversation. That evening we went out and when we returned we hear what we assumed was laundry being washed and dried in the other half of the basement as indicated by the trips up and down the stairs and footsteps overhead.
All of this to say, this is not a soundproof space.
So again, overall a great place but I wouldn't recommend it for a long-term stay or if you're looking for space were you can come back and unwind and feel like you have some privacy.
