I hate to be that guy, but I have no idea why this apartment has a 5-star status! Hopefully my review will help people who are eyeing this listing for their sty in Seattle. Far more than a little TLC is needed, for what amounted to a $260/night listing after charges.
Overall: The apartment is not air-conditioned, rather there is a window unit available to for use in the bedroom. It’s considerably loud and requires a gap in the window, which also adds (even more) road noise. In no way what I think should qualify as “air-conditioning,” and this was an important amenity for us as August travelers.
Bedroom: Light fixtures in the bedroom seemed to be hanging by a thread. One of the fixtures (left-side, facing the bed) did not even have an outlet for plugging in! It was 100% there for appearance sake.
Kitchen: The overhead light fixture in kitchen was also hanging on one side and detached from the ceiling, and looked it could have fallen at any moment. The cabinet under the kitchen sink was also hanging off its hinges, never stayed closed.
Bathroom: There was some hair on the floor, the water pipes were loud as can be, and the handrail inside the shower was missing, with a hole and tape left behind. The tiled floor was also scraped and/or cracked all around. My wife refused to walk around barefoot because of the bathroom.
Doors: The bedroom and bathroom doors creaked insanely loud when opening. I routinely woke my wife up when I went to bed after her.
Honestly, guys: not worth the cost. We wish we had splurged for a hotel or gotten a nicer place a little north of the Downtown area.
