We spent four nights at this unique property over Thanksgiving. As a Seattle native, I was familiar with the location and it did not disappoint in that regard. The view over Portage Bay is charming (think crew skulls, pretty power boats, and sky reflections). We enjoyed looking at the University of Washington and the big windows give the unit lots of light. Parking was a breeze - thank goodness - and check-in/out procedures easily followed. The beds were comfy and the unit is well appointed with everything we needed from closet space to kitchen accoutrements. Those are the plusses. The biggest negative on this apartment was the fact that it is a lower unit and the person(s) that live upstairs are extremely noisy. It must be a combination of construction and behaviors as we were awakened morning and night for 3 of the 4 nights - including at 5:15 AM on Thanksgiving morning as our "uninvited trip companions" dashed out. That, combined with a collection of minor cleaning infractions (un-vacuumed carpet in main living space, dirty kitchen surfaces showing remnants of prior use, a filthy bathroom pocket-door) had my husband saying, that his "fears of this type of rental were confirmed" by this stay. The view is also not what is depicted in the listing. We suspect that was taken from an upper deck as the lower-unit view is interrupted by an electricity pole. All-in-all, that was a minor offence given the upper tenants and cleaning issues mentioned above. Too bad, cause this unit is very cute, has lovely light and is in a great location. I will say that the host, Dennis, was very organized, responsive and digitally welcoming.
