This rental really does live up to its description. The photos give a very accurate picture of the layout and furnishings. The open plan and big windows make for a bright living space with pleasant neighborhood views. We made regular use of the fitness center and the rooftop deck with BBQs and an extensive garden (vegetables and flowers are maintained by the building for tenants to harvest. It was really exceptional). The apartment complex is built around a lovely Pacific NW courtyard and is situated near numerous coffee shops and restaurants. Although the South Lake Union District is pretty new and still changing, we found it to be friendly and fun to explore. We were here for several months and found the bedrooms quiet and the living arrangements very comfortable. We used the kitchen often and although it had more than the kitchen basics described, we did need to make a few additions.
One problem we did have, was that because we were not the actual tenant, all our communications with the building office had to go through Zeus, who had no local presence. We had some initial problems with AC that took several days to resolve. It is worth keeping this in mind when arranging for parking, package pick up, etc., as well as that the building office is 9 to 5 not 24/7 which can add to delays.
We picked this unit in part because the complex was handicapped accessible. One exception was the two level fitness center whose second floor with the exercise machines had stair access only.
Aside from these minor disappointments,we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely rent again.
