Our beautiful apartment couldn't have been in a better location! We enjoyed walking to Pikes Market, several great restaurants, shopping such as Macy's a few steps away, the Ferry that took us to Bainbridge Island, and Underground Seattle, all of which I highly recommend, but best of all, this building opens to a great place to play! There are tables set up outside where we played cards as we watched probably hundreds of workers getting on and off the busses that stopped right there. I have never been a "people watcher" but even I was enjoying this so much I could hardly concentrate on our card game.
There were bag games, Jenga, giant chess, ping pong, and best of all for us, Foosball. There were no charges for any of this, just an awesome place to play!Whenever I come here in the future, I will bring my own foosballs from home as the ones supplied were not regulation, even though the table was.
We could see Starbucks right from our window, so even though there was a coffee maker set up for us in the well supplied kitchen, we enjoyed starting our day there, drinking coffee and watching all the activities.
We are retired and thought how awesome it would be to live in this apartment and enjoy this everyday!
The apartment itself is exactly as described and expected, spotless, fresh, upscale, with every little thing being supplied!
The shower was great, and the bed super comfortable. The building was quiet, but being in the city, there will be some street noise. It didn't bother either of us in the least, and we are from a very quiet suburb, but if you are a light sleeper, I would suggest closing the windows at bedtime. We prefer the breeze to the AC, so we left them opened while we slept.
When we first arrived, we were a little concerned about the homeless in the area, but we quickly figured out they are NOT a problem. They went about their own business as did everyone else. We were never asked for anything, even when out walking after dark, no issues.
There are many professionals and tourists on these sidewalks, all seemingly comfortable together.
We would happily return to this very special home again and again!
