There were just 2 people staying for 6 days. Pros: -location, location, location. GREAT location!-Very clean. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless!-Beds are very comfortable.-So many fans in all 3 rooms to keep air moving. -lovely backyard with beautiful flowers and plants. We loved sitting out there.-great communication and help from host.Cons: -There's not a single comfortable chair to sit to read or write in any of the 3 bedrooms. You pretty much have to read/write/drink coffee/do anything sitting in bed. We did not use the basement 'lounge' at all. - Only 1 person can shower at a time because of poor water pressure. - Rooms are very dark even with lights on. Need brighter light bulbs. Room 2 has no bedside lamp. -minor and maybe a lady thing... there's not a single full length, or even half-length mirror.-the tiny bathroom sink in room 1 tugged in a corner is pretty much not usable. What's up with the tiny mirror close to a wall? Note: As stated in the description, the kitchenette cannot be accessed from the main floor. You have to go outside, down the steps, around to the back and down steps to the basemen. We didn't cook, so we were ok with that. We took the kettle upstairs to make tea/coffee in the morning. BUT please take note. Still...a lovely stay in BEAUTIFUL Edmonds!

This house is located in downtown Edmonds, very walkable to coffee houses, shopping and dining. Each bedroom is well appointed with beautiful en-suite bathrooms.

This was my third stay at Whale’s Nest, and it was just as wonderful as the first two. It’s cute, clean, comfortable, and perfectly located within walking distance of everything in downtown Edmonds. The owners are friendly and responsive. My two friends and I spent two lovely nights here and it couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend!!

The location of this home couldn't be more ideal and is the main reason we chose it. You are within walking distance to a large selection of fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, the beach and everything Edmonds has to offer. Parking can be a challenge if your group has more than one car since the provided spot off the alley is pretty tight. We fit two cars in the spot but it was pretty challenging and there are restrictions on the street parking in the neighborhood. We had an issue with the coffee pot the second day of the stay and the owner was extremely responsive. He quickly came and swapped the coffee pot out and was very friendly and accommodative. The house was also very clean.However, the layout of the house is very odd which isn't clearly communicated in the listing. The main level consists of three bedroom - all with an ensuite bathroom which was nice. However, there was NO common area at all on this level which was inconvenient.The common area was the basement which included a small kitchen. Unfortunately, the only way to access this area from the main level was by exiting the home and walking around half of the house to some very steep steps to the basement level. This made it impossible to put my grandson to bed upstairs and spend time with my son and his wife in the evening down in the basement which was very disappointing. Something to keep in mind if togetherness is an important goal for your group.
