Reviews
Paul from United States – 30 April 2025 (10/10)
This apartment is well maintained, clean, modern, and stocked with whatever you may need to be comfortable. Communication with the owner was quick and clear. The location was wonderful. less than a 5-minute walk to the trolley stop and we were on our way to Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, the water front, Capital Hill, etc. We’re going to go on an Alaskan cruise next year and will book this apartment for the night because the trolley will take us right from the airport to the cruise docks.
What could be improved: We were completely satisfiedDaniel from United States – 27 March 2025 (10/10)
Slightly expensive
Hauke from Germany – 27 September 2024 (10/10)
Very modern, spacious and well equipped apartment. It also would be nice for longer stays!
What could be improved: Nothing to complain about 🙂Moises from United States – 23 September 2024 (10/10)
Very clean and comfortable
What could be improved: Everything was fine no problemDebbie from United States – 6 September 2024 (8/10)
This was so great to stay at while enjoying an event in downtown Seattle. Easy to ride the link light rail with no worry about parking in town. Wonderful communication from manager and property was described and shown exactly as it was found. It was quite and cozy.
What could be improved: A little pricier than I would have liked, but everything in the City is overpriced ~ so I can say it is a good value for the space. Coming in late at night, the TV was a bit frustrating to figure out.Devre from Canada – 17 July 2024 (10/10)
Very clean, nice amenities, great communication, very comfy furniture!
Marcia from United States – 8 May 2024 (9/10)
Nick was responsive to a little issues that came up. Thanks
Clean, location worked for what we needed.
What could be improved: It’d be nice to have a place to put the suitcases up while I packedJoan from United States – 6 May 2024 (9/10)
Neighborhood is quiet and parking is easy and free. Has everything you need: laundry/iron; bath and feminine toiletries; kitchen amenities including microwave, fridge, toaster oven, hot plate, and kettle; as well as small items like white noise machine. Bed was super comfy. Able to check in pretty early.
What could be improved: Upstairs neighbor can be loud at nightIllia from United States – 24 September 2023 (8/10)
Apartment is very nice, but be aware host is living on the property or close by.
Karin from United States – 21 August 2023 (9/10)
I loved how small and quaint it was, especially for a quick one night getaway. There’s plenty of space in the room, I could see myself staying here for longer.
What could be improved: Parking was a bit difficult to find as it’s street parking and you can hear the neighbors around you. There is no stove top, but the fridge is big and you get a toaster & microwave.
