Tim ought to give a course in setting up an Airbnb! For a (relatively) modest price, he offers more amenities than I have ever experienced. But the pleasure of this place is not just in the fluffy white bathrobes and freshly laundered slippers, or the multitude of pillows, or the abundance of snowy white towels or kitchen gadgets, or the drawer full of toiletries... A big part of the charm is how every minute detail has been thoughtfully designed for ease and delight. If you need it, it's right at hand: Easy entry and check-in with a combination lock door, fresh-feeling room air, good heat with digital controls, all lights and hooks at exactly where you need them, USB plug-in, board games, abundant local directories (including one he wrote). A teensy kitchenette in a literal closet still manages to provide three different coffee makers, a sharp knife and cutting board, napkins and compost bin, dairy and non-dairy milks... I won't go on and on listing the extras, but the result of all this clever engineering is that every need you have has been anticipated.
The space is not huge: a good-sized bedroom and roomy bathroom. It's in the lowest level of a family home, so you'll hear normal life happening overhead. Footsteps, the occasional sound of voices or laughter. None of these were ever loud or annoying, and none of them went on very late in the evening, but you will be aware of other people in the house.
If I need an Airbnb in Seattle again, Tim's house will absolutely be my first choice.
