Reviews

  • Na from Canada – 20 March 2025 (8/10)

    Spacious for small family. Pet friendly.

    What could be improved: Convenient location. Safe, free street parking.

  • Barone from United States – 18 September 2023 (9/10)

    What could be improved: Property was advertised as a three bedroom, two bath.
    This is deceiving as the property is actually an excellent two bedroom, two bath with an unconventional sofa bed in the living room.

  • Gloria from United States – 3 August 2023 (8/10)

    The apartment was very clean and in a good location. The staff was prompt to answer.

    What could be improved: The living room seating was uncomfortable and the bistro stools were dangerously unstable.

  • Verne from United States – 5 August 2024 (7/10)

    The facility was well kept and clean. The host, Vince, was great and accessible. The unit met our needs.

    What could be improved: Parking is an issue, as it is in most of Seattle. The exterior common areas of the condo are not well kept. That is no reflection on the owner. The challenge for us was that the unit is on three different floors. – 1st = bedrm, laundry and bathrm; 2nd = living and kitchen; 3rd bedroom and bathrm. Lot of stair climbing. Left luggage on first floor and slept on third. Not aza problem, just a challenge.

  • Anonymous from United States – 8 September 2023 (8/10)

    Close to cruise terminal, dining and grocery shopping. Excellent clear instructions & guidelines provided in binder.

    What could be improved: No complaints
