This Airbnb is an intersection of a fascinating and active neighborhood and a great building. We lived in Seattle for 30 years and we know the city well. Fremont has been an up-and-coming part of town for decades. There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and bars within walking distance. Other locations in the city are easily accessible by several bus lines that have stops within a couple of blocks of the building. Within a 20-minute walk there are two business districts – Fremont in one direction and the Wallingford neighborhood in another direction. Each has a major grocery store, pharmacies and all else one would need.
The Bowman building where the Airbnb is located is state of the art with excellent security and an Amazon Hub in the lobby. The building’s management is exceptional. The apartment itself is smallish with a bedroom that is open to the apartment on one side. Generally, the apartment is well appointed; the queen-size bed was very comfortable. The internet download speed was typically 250 to 300 mbps. The rooftop of the building is a wide-open common space with tables, chairs, lounge chairs and great views of the Downtown Seattle skyline behind Lake Union. There is even an off-leash dog park on the roof.
