This place is an understated gem. It is small, efficient, clean and reasonably priced, with a real, working kitchen, great WiFi, also laundry available. We needed to find a place where we could stay for 10 nights, and I doubt if we could have found something in the hotel/ motel market for that price, in a safe location.
The host, Tri, is cordial and helpful; we especially appreciated his help in jumping a dead battery on our rental car. He had good recommendations about local restaurants and such, and a good sense of humor. The house rules are clear cut and reasonable, and he has got check-in and check-out down to an art form.
You might be wondering what to do in Seattle during Covid, when many attractions are closed or limited. The apartment is ideally located for walking. A silver lining following several seasons of civil unrest and Covid is that many storefronts were boarded up, and are now sprawling with murals. Many buildings are also painted. For those willing to go on a walkabout, you will find a rich and colorful feast of visual expression, ranging from the overtly political to the fevered dreams of surrealism.
Another thing you can do, if you are interested in urban ecology, or gardens, is to visit, walk through or by, the city’s many public gardens, including community gardens. I particularly recommend the gardens and landscaping of Seattle University, one block over, as well as the community gardens in Little Saigon. Little Saigon also has great markets for groceries and herbs.
