Emily's space is the perfect size for two separate travelers (if one doesn't mind sleeping in a twin), or for a couple with a child. It comes equipped with every room you would need for a comfortable stay, including laundry, which is a nice added bonus and makes it easier to pack a bit less. Both beds were extremely comfortable, and several options of different pillow types make it easy to find your perfect fit. This is a detail that is often overlooked in an Airbnb, but definitely improves your quality of sleep! I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of this inclusion. Many hosts only provide the bare minimum of sleeping comfort.
Other amenities include a roomy shower and a bathroom heater, which I've never encountered before, but is now a luxury I am considering adding to my own bathroom.
A few things to be aware of, this is a basement unit. Although it is quite bright, with windows in every room, you will hear tenants walking around upstairs if there is anyone in the unit above. Emily has provided a white noise machine to help mask any of these sounds while you sleep, but I always travel with my own. There is also no television. We didn't come to Seattle to watch TV, and wouldn't have turned it on even if it were there, but if you are bringing children who need screen-time, be sure to bring an ipad or something else to keep them entertained during down-time. Emily has also provided plenty of games and toys for children to play with.
Emily's house is within about a 15 minute walk to the light rail system which makes it easy to get to many different locations throughout Seattle. There are a few restaurants and ice cream places nearby.
Overall this was a great location, outside of the noise and hustle of the city center, but convenient enough to be there within 30 minutes.
Emily was an excellent host, and a gracious embodiment of the Aloha spirit. If we are ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay in Emily's Airbnb again...although she may not want us to, since we broke her towel bar. :)
