Siena and her place are what all Airbnb hosts and their properties should be. Not only is Siena incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but she loves being there. She is not just a picture like a lot of the Airbnb places are where you show up and only have contact with some faceless property management company representative. She is the real deal, a local with a fond history of the city. Her responses to messages were immediate and enthusiastic. She even met up with us one time when we had a need.
The apartment is also perfect! The fridge was definitely well stocked, including a new bag of ice, which I'd never encountered in a rental before and which I usually have to buy on my first night of a stay, no matter how tired I am. The linens are so soft, and there are little touches everywhere to make the stay feel more like home; I'd tell you, but then you wouldn't be pleasantly surprised as much. I loved the music theme throughout the place, all the blackout curtains, the combo washer/dryer, the A/C unit, and all the streaming media we had access to. Every TV was also the perfect size of the room (nice and big, no moving the seating to read any subtitles or appreciate special effects). The apartment is also at the end of the hall, so I never heard any neighbors. If you're a brisk walker, you can make it to Pike Place in 5 minutes, and if you play Pokemon Go, there are two pokestops you can access from every room. :) There's even a building you can see from the living room and master bedroom that leaves its lights on in the shape of a heart. So beautiful. So symbolic. So fitting!
You will love this place! It renewed my faith in Airbnb just when I needed it. I hope to stay here again and again!
Thank you, Siena!
