TL;DR: Do not hesitate. Book this gorgeous loft immediately for a world class experience!
My girlfriend flew into Seattle, so we wanted a place closer to the city. We're extremely fortunate to have found Marvin's loft. The loft is incredibly beautiful in person and Marvin was such a sweet host.
The check-in experience was seamless. We arrived late at night, but we were still able to get into the building and the loft without any issues.
The location of the loft is superb as well. It's within a short walking distance to Safeway and Trader Joe's, so getting groceries or supplies is not a problem at all. The Capitol Hill light rail station is about a 15 minute walk away, so there's easy access to downtown Seattle and the surrounding areas. The street itself is relatively quiet. There is some construction happening nearby and the cars driving down the street can be a little noisy, but it's nothing unbearable at all. The building is quiet too. We rarely heard noise from the surrounding units.
As mentioned before, the loft itself is lovely. Tall ceilings and lots of natural light make the space feel warm and welcoming. Marvin did an excellent job designing the loft and making sure his guests are well taken care of. He provides a myriad of supplies and amenities that make it possible to show up and settle in immediately. One of the most overlooked amenities when booking a place to stay is access to clean drinking water, but the loft is equipped with a refrigerator that has a built-in water dispenser. There's also a wide array of kitchen gadgets and utensils that make cooking in the loft an effortless experience. Basic toiletries are also supplied which is a huge plus. Most importantly, the loft was thoroughly clean!
One of the best quirks of the loft is the technology that it's equipped with. From the keypad to enter the loft to the touchless toilet and the ability to raise the blinds with a press of a button, the technology in the loft is supportive without being overbearing. Marvin put in a lot of effort to make the loft fun and accessible.
Although relatively new, Marvin gives the impression like he's been hosting for years. He's wonderfully communicative with fast replies and genuinely thoughtful. He checked up on us a couple times to make sure our experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Overall, we're incredibly satisfied with our stay; it was worth every penny. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay for another couple of weeks! Thank you again for such a positive experience. We'll definitely come again if given the chance without hesitation.
