It was our first time in Seattle and we were there to explore! This place was the PERFECT home base for our four person family (kids aged 9 and 11).
Public transit made it easy to commute straight from the airport and Ashley & Mike shared some fantastic recommendations for activities and food. Doug gave us a quick tour upon check in and we were ready to get moving. There are several convenience stores on the same block and you can spit and hit several restaurants. Be sure to check out Macrina’s for breakfast.
The view was so much better than the pictures and it was cool to see the open bay or the cruise ships come to port. We ended each of our evenings people watching, but you can easily block out the city with the black out curtains and fans. I slept in until 10 one morning with no issues.
The pool, hot tub, and sauna gave us some much needed relaxation after our days of walking (truly, this was awesome!). The apartment itself is exactly as described. It’s small and well loved, but the beds are large and comfy. I was surprised at how big (and comfortable) the pull out couch was. The kitchen was stocked with ice and basic essentials (coffee, oils, pb and j, etc.) we ran down to the convenience store to get bread and ice cream. If you wanted to do Seattle on a budget, you could easily cook all your meals here.
Seriously. 10/10 recommend. This would be a great place for 2 couples if you wanted some privacy too. We walked from Pioneer Square to MoPop and it was so great to have this spot to relax. If we ever come back to Seattle, we’ll stay here. Thanks!
