Chris was very friendly. He works a lot so you rarely get to see him. It was nice knowing in advance that he rents out his own room so that when we saw him sleeping on his couch it didn't come as a surprise. He has a roommate, which is friendly and doesn't make any noise.

Definitely bring your own towels if you can. I personally didn't enjoy using the one provided. The place has a certain smell to it. It's just a little stuffy. Maybe I'm a little sensitive to scents. There's no mirror in the room and no hairdryer.

Nevertheless, the bed was comfortable and we were able to use his washer and dryer for FREE! I enjoyed the location. It was one short mile walk to Pioneer Orchard Park in historical Steilacoom.

Chris was friendly and welcoming and provided the necessary accommodations for a lone traveler in town for a brief visit. The room and bed were comfortable and the apartment is in a nice location convenient to Steilacoom.

One challenge I encountered was that when I contacted Chris after landing in Seattle, he notified me that due to his work schedule, the room would not be available for me to check in until 7:00 pm. I made this reservation weeks prior and understood from the listing that I would be able to check in earlier than that (the listing claims 24 hour check in). If I had understood this, I would have planned my trip differently as I was tired after a long day of travel and wanted a place to relax and had to kill a few hours. I was also a bit surprised to discover that there were no dishes or glasses available in the kitchen though I see that he did note this in the listing (it says to bring your own dishes but flying makes this prohibitive). Having used Airbnb in Steilacoom before, my opinion is that for the same price, there are accommodations that provide amenities such as a furnished kitchen and more flexible check in times. In future visits to Steilacoom, I will consider those places first and may consider this one again if the price is lowered or a more convenient check in time is offered.

This rental might be a more appealing option for someone who is interested in using the pool or sauna. Chris really is a friendly host, enough so that it was hard for me to write critically about some aspects of my stay.

Chris was super accommodating, and very welcoming. Highly recommend!:)

Great guy very friendly and hospitable, a bed frame would be awesome but doesn't matter too much. The pillows were super soft but they make your head hot. Still in the end 5 stars and I'm happy
