You will love staying here! Crow's Nest Cottage is full of light (high ceiling, lots of great windows) yet very private. It's tucked in the back yard of a private home, but none of the windows face any other buildings. It delivers on all three: lots of light, close access to bus line, restaurants, and shopping, and yet total privacy. It is a sturdy, beautifully designed building (I'd describe as rustic modern) with thick walls that contain sound well: blast music or shout out your creed and not be heard by neighbors. Top of the line appliances, kitchen, and bath fixtures. Lots of natural wood (butcher block kitchen counters and thick, exposed wood for loft floor which is also the kitchen ceiling). Giant ceiling fan, tank-less-on-demand-hot-water heater, skylight with a remote shade for sleeping in, and excellent light fixtures throughout. My father is an architect and I can't wait to put him up here. This place delivers a lot of simple luxuries for a very good price. The hosts, Amy and Matt have the right demeanor for Airbnb: they have a kind and easy going nature, are clear communicators, responsive to emails, calls, and texts, and are thoughtful about the details (nice towels, cutlery, kitchen ware, etc.). With kindness and good humor they set me up with everything I needed, left me alone, but were readily available when I wanted or needed to engage. You can walk down 6th Ave to Veraci Pizza or Slate Coffee shop. Walk, ride, or drive for 4 minutes over to Ballard Market to stock up the cool LG bottom-freezer fridge. I wish I could live there permanently. I will definitely be back.
