The good: Quiet, safe neighborhood within short driving distance to excellent grocery stores, restaurants and bakeries, a small park, U Village and the UW. Sunny, corner lot with easy street parking. We loved hanging out in the gracious patio with a big, handsome tree, and it’s great to have seating areas in both the front and back of the main floor. Levi was a very responsive host, and gave us a rebate when the cleaning took longer than expected. He provides high-quality linens, soft but comfortable mattresses, a Keurig, basic cookware and serving ware, basic toiletries.
In terms of things you should know: It’s a modest mid-century house, modestly equipped. Sounds travel easily. The main-floor bedrooms are smallish; the only queen bed is in the semi-finished basement. The door between the master bedroom and the only bathroom on the main floor wasn’t closing properly. Plumbing is delicate. Flimsy knives, battered skillet, not much serving ware for large gatherings. No outdoor grill.
In sum, a fine place to stay if the location and price work for you.
