Parking

The only problem we encountered was the typical Seattle parking problem. No street parking near the unit and the driveway parking was very narrow and included a low concrete abutment on the house side that was not visible to the car’s radar or from the driver’s seat and difficult to interpret on the back up camera. Attaching a stake with a small flag to the driveway side of that abutment would have been very helpful.

Clean and convenient space

We loved the space and the location was perfect! Close to everything. My kids loved the heated floors in the bathroom! Everything was clean and comfortable. I will definitely reach out to Carla again when we are in Seattle……hopefully able to rent the upstairs…..the back patio looked so relaxing. The neighborhood is super quiet and had lots of cute restaurants and dog/kid friendly pubs. Carla was an awesome host and communication was great! Thank you again!

Really nice stay

Carla is a wonderful host. Great communication and very helpful. We got upgraded to her floor of the house, and found it comfort luxurious. Especially the shower and comfy bed. Great access to downtown via 15th or Aurora when the the 5 is busy. Will reach out to them again when we come back to Seattle
