Summary: Everything about this vrbo was practically perfect for my stay. It had plenty of street parking in front of the property, the cutest ambiance, and gave great recommendations for eateries and activities. The hosts provided toiletries, extras you wouldn’t even think you’d need (ear plugs/mending kit) and had a great variety of teas and coffee for the morning time. Just a heads up (I wasn’t bothered by this but some might) you can hear people very well upstairs and outside. It’s a basement unit that’s closed off from the rest of the house so take that into consideration. Everything about the check in/out process was very smooth and clear. If you’re not familiar with Seattles recycling, they provide a handy sheet of what is “trash, recycling, compost.” Overall a great stay and I would stay here again!
