Ann's Fremont apartment was a lovely place to stay for my family's (two adults, one 9-year-old) spring break stay in Seattle before departing to visit family further north. The overall description of the space and amenities lived up to our expectations and what we experienced.
Noise from the floor above was an issue for one of us, as I was woken up around 2:45am one morning. The listing does gives a heads-up about potential noise, however I did not expect the noise that early in the morning. Luckily Ann does provide earplugs in the bathroom and I used them for the following evening and slept soundly after that. Although the apartment is not technically underground as a basement, it essentially is a ground floor, basement-like apartment, so that may be something to consider if you are a light sleeper or are unable to sleep with earplugs.
The main bedroom bed was extremely soft, ample towels and toiletries supplied, and Ann was so kind to call me in advance of our arrival to ask what kind of air mattress we would prefer for our daughter (two options, plus the couch as option if desired).
The location is definitely tucked away and a bit difficult to find at night. Guests should definitely follow Ann's specific directions for accessing the house (which she kindly and clearly provides in the listing) and do NOT use iPhone maps, Google, or other directions. We learned the importance of this on the night of our arrival and quickly reversed after an initial attempt down the very steep and unlit hill.
The close proximity to shops, restaurants, and other amenities of Fremont neighborhood are fantastic! I didn't realize how hilly the neighborhood was. It was a trek with a child going back up the hill by foot, but we managed okay. Guests with smaller children or anyone with walking/physical challenges may have difficulty if they plan to explore the neighborhood by foot. (I highly recommend Pel Meni Dumpling Tzar for delicious Russian-style dumplings as a unique casual dining destination nearby, as well as the Theo Chocolate tour just down the hill a few blocks!)
Ann was very friendly, we enjoyed the Theo chocolate and wine provided, and accommodated our difficult-to-pinpoint arrival time with ease and grace. I would recommend this apartment to others visiting the Seattle area.
