I loved this spot! Beacon Hill is my go-to for visiting Seattle and Lynn is now my go-to for visiting Beacon Hill! She made my stay feel more like a family/friend visit than just a host for guest unit. Everything was clean and organized, very accurate to descriptions. The neighborhood/location is super convenient! It's about a 5 minute walk to the nearest rail stop, bus stop, and maybe a 10-15 minute walk to beautiful Jefferson Park with some really awesome views of the city! Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants nearby that are excellent! Lynn shares her recommendations to some of her favs if you need help deciding! The neighborhood is quiet and very safe, people are out walking/running all the time.
The kitchen came with all the things you might need for cooking a meal, including an electric kettle, drip coffee maker and french press, and coffee grinder! She had some basic food supplies already in the kitchen and pantry when I arrived! There were lots of recreation books/maps for hiking trails, day trips, and visiting guides. She included ORCA Card for Seattle's public rail system so all you need to do is load money. If you arrive with a rental car, Lynn has a parking permit so you can park on the street.
The unit is so cozy, it made me feel a little bit like a cabin which happened to be perfect because I visited in late January. I would love to go see what her garden looks like during the summer because it was even a beautiful space when I went! I was visiting to relocate and Lynn offered recommendations as a local to help me find some great apartments to check out! She was so warm and fun to chat with, I'd rate her as a top host for sure!
Lynn does mention in the description that the house is older and so it is true that there will be some creaking and you can hear some movement above but they do have "quiet hours" which are respected. I personally feel its all part of the charm of the place.
Highly recommend this place if you enjoy the convenience of getting around but like to have a quiet place to come back to, you appreciate/value simple gestures and details, and enjoy a warm, sociable host like Lynn!
