PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW. Overall, the cleanliness and awesome location of this place saves it. If you are claustrophobic at all, it's probably not the best option.
PROS:
CLEANLINESS: Super comfortable and everything looked immaculate!
LOCATION: It's literally 2 streets away from bars and restaurants and a lovely 15-20 min walk from the heart of Cap Hill, which is one of the best neighborhoods in the city! We're so glad we didn't stay downtown where all the hotels are because that area can feel a bit too touristy. The apt is on a quiet, beautiful street but not too far from the action.
COMMUNICATION; The owner is very clear and communicative...almost too communicative where it was a bit overwhelming. However, if you need a lot of assistance, you'll appreciate this. I'm someone who doesn't like to correspond too much outside of what's necessary.
CONS:
MISLEADING PHOTOS: The living room picture is the lobby, not another part of the studio. The studio is basically the size of a FULL-SIZE MURPHY BED (which surprisingly has a comfy albeit small mattress) and a small galley kitchen and bathroom. If the living room area was not depicted, I don't think I'd be as disappointed when I arrived.
A/C: Let me preface this by saying it was my fault for not reading the amenities list all the way through. BUT, if you're going to market a modern apartment in a really nice building, most people are going to assume you have AC. I get Seattle is mostly grey and rainy most of the time, but it was pretty warm the weekend I visited. The indoor thermometer read a toasty 79 degrees in the room. The windows don't open very wide and you have to keep the curtains closed otherwise the heat from outside warms the place even more! in addition to how small the place is, it becomes kind of suffocating. Thank god there is a fan and the ceilings are high, but honestly, since it's priced just slightly below a 4-star hotel downtown, you'll be more comfortable there. I went on a summer weekend, so maybe my experience is just unique to the warmer months.
