Overall this is a great spot and I would stay here again. Unlike other reviews, I didn’t have a problem with hot water. I was able to take reasonably long showers and wash my hair without interruption. Perhaps the earlier issues were addressed. The apartment looks just like the photos, not too much furniture so you are able to spread out if you need to but all the necessities are there. I think it would be a good location for a longer stay as there is ample closet space. The internet connection was more than adequate for me to work remotely for my job. Also, Melissa is a courteous and responsive host.
As another reviewer mentioned, there is some late night and early morning noise as the windows face a large alley behind a major commercial strip, so businesses will take their trash out after closing and a few times during the week there will be a loud early morning trash collection which can be disruptive if you leave the windows open overnight. Something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper. I didn’t get any odor from the garbage bins, they are far enough away so the only issue with them is the noise.
The best part of this apartment is it’s location. It’s one block from the new light rail stop which will bring you direct from the airport and quickly to other great parts of the city. I had wanted to stay in Capitol Hill originally, but I’m happy I ended up staying here instead. The area felt very secure, quiet enough while still being lively and right next to a ton of quick and tasty food options, particularly a lot of Korean and Chinese. I will keep this place in mind for my next visit to Seattle.
