We had a great extended stay at Tracy’s apartment. The apartment is located only a mile from Columbia City, a very fun small downtown with great restaurants and is a 2 minute walk from the 7 bus which is a 25 minute ride to downtown Seattle.
Yes, the apartment is on an “up and coming” street, but the neighborhood towards Seward Park is fantastic and very welcoming. We did not feel unsafe at all and Seward Park is very worth checking out - especially on a sunny day!
Overall we had a great time and if you want to stay south of downtown Seattle, we would recommend Tracy’s apartment.
