First time using VRBO, as I’ve always used another provider, but I have to say this was by far the easiest experience. From the very beginning through the end of our stay, Payton provided everything we needed to know and was extremely responsive. The place was very modern, which we really liked, and the sauna was awesome. I booked a one-night stay for my wife and me to celebrate her birthday, and it was perfect.

Great location and easy to get downtown for a Kraken game and the Museum of Pop. It is a small parking spot but it was great to find off street parking in Seattle. Check-in/check-out was super easy. There are a lot of stairs but about what you would expect in Seattle.
