Beautiful place, owner thought of everything
Our family of four stayed in the penthouse condo (yes, it is on the top floor of the building) for almost six weeks. It was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped. Every time we thought of something we needed (utensils, tools, cleaning supplies), we discovered that Elta had anticipated our need and provided it. We also found Elta very responsive when we needed something. The washing machine went out while we were staying, and she acted immediately to find a solution (good news for future renters: there is now a new washing machine!!)
Details you may want to know:
Beds:
There is a king bed in the bedroom, and a large pull-out sofa and a smaller futon that can be converted to a flat bed. We used them all at some point in out stay, and they were all great. (The pull-out sofa was the most comfortable I’ve ever tried!)
Building:
The unit comes with underground parking. It’s down five levels through the parking garage, but it’s easy to get in and out of the lot, and it was so convenient having a car when we needed one.
Street Noise:
The condo really is downtown, and you’ll hear the city, especially with the windows open (which is pretty necessary on hot days). But since the condo is 25 stories up, the noise isn’t bad at all, and we were never bothered by it.
Other noise:
I’m not sure what the walls are made of, but we never heard the neighbors. Really – we never heard noise from an adjacent condo once during our stay.
The area:
Even during the pandemic, there is so much nearby. Lots of great restaurants and a few good bars. Be sure to try Le Panier (two blocks away) at least once, for delicious morning pastries or Parisian-style lunch sandwiches at least once. Once things are a bit more normal, renters can enjoy the Seattle Art Museum and the Symphony only a block or two away.
Conclusion:
This would be our first choice of where to stay next time we are in Seattle. In fact, we liked it so much we extended our stay past what we had originally planned. It was such a comfortable and convenient location. Thanks to Elta for everything.
