We booked Holly and Matt’s Magnolia home for our girls weekend. The house has charm, the kitchen was well stocked and we were given fruit, cereal and muffins for a nice continental breakfast. The bus stop is right in front of the house and it is just 20-30 min from all of the event locations we attended. When booking the home I was so impressed with all of the reviews which raved about the house. We really looked forward to having breakfast in the backyard and enjoying the beautiful fall weather in Seattle.
First, I would like to compliment the owners for communicating so
well during our stay. Every text was answered in a timely manner. They were very kind and helpful.
We were very surprised when we arrived to see the state of the yard. It definitely had not been serviced recently; many weeds and overgrown/dry plants. The grass looked like every other Seattle yard at the end of a hot dry summer but the weeds were overgrown and the outdoor
furniture was not as inviting as the photo showed.
I made some suggestions to the owners and they appeared to be well received so hopefully the next renters will find lights that work, screens on all windows, glasses without chips, kitchen cabinet doors reattached, and extra blankets and towels (we looked but could not find any).
I would stay here again, especially after communicating with Holly and Matt. I just felt I needed to mention these items since they were annoying and I would want others to leave an honest review.
