Oct 2016 was my second trip this year to Tina's Apt and it felt like visiting a favorite relative's home. Tina gave us same door code and we let ourselves in. Nifty thing about airbnb - the bill is settled online, in advance. When we had a question about the thermostat, Dave was there in a few minutes. Kitchen is well enough equipped to cook a full dinner. Tina stocked breakfast items to fridge and snacks, tea & coffee on the counter. There are stairs down side yard to the entry (Seattle, right?) which would be tricky for anyone with mobility issues, but they are shallow, with a handrail- no trouble for us.
Lots of interesting books and art helped us wind down after busy days with extended family. Chickens next door are fun to watch over coffee in the morning, but we didn't hear them at all. I felt comfortable leaving my work laptop "at home" while we were out & about.
Enjoyed Thai food at Chaiyo and a more-creative-than-expected brewpub menu at the Elliott Bay Brewing Co, on Lake City Way.
We fly in regularly to visit elderly parents who live nearby; this quiet retreat is our first choice for future visits to Seattle. Tina & Dave were Super Hosts on both visits; happy to see they have now been officially recognized as such, by airbnb! You can't go wrong with this booking.
