We had a lovely time at Jil's place. She knew we were arriving late and left the lights on for us (and they were beautiful lamps too, made by Jil herself). She also provided thorough directions that helped us to find the place easily. We tend to not be the most outgoing people and keep to ourselves, and we very much appreciated that even though Jil and her family lived above us, they respected our privacy. The space was well-decorated, and you can tell a lot of thought was put into making it both comfortable and functional. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware and the bed was heavenly! We loved having a little "home" to come to at night after exploring the city all day. Jil also thoughtfully left post-it's throughout the space with tips on making our stay more comfortable. One literal heads up, and not a complaint at all, but just a warning if you are very tall: since it is a basement apartment, the ceiling is a little low. At 5'9" I had no issue, but my husband's 6'6" head brushed the ceiling in a few spots. It didn't bother him at all. We would both happily return should we visit Seattle again.
