First, let me mention that our host Calvin is the best host we’ve ever had! For every small issue, he would respond within 15 minutes, if even that (not joking). So, communication was second to none! Easy check in process retrieving the keys from the concierge at the front desk. The elevators were normally very reliable but took a while when we first arrived since they were down to only two of four.
The unit is exactly as pictured and the view is lovely. Also, a binder with all of the information you could need! Doesn’t happen as often as you’d think, so we appreciated that! Very well stocked kitchen! The oven would turn off randomly if opened while cooking but you can quickly get it back up and running. I’ve never stayed in a place with more sets of plush and matching towels! The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great at first. One message sent to our host and a higher pressure shower head was instilled the next day!
The bedroom closet is nice and big and the bed was very comfy. There isn’t a set of dresser drawers but the shelves in the closet were a perfectly fine substitute. There was only a table top sized ironing board at first but once again I just asked our host and within a couple of days, full sized ironing board. Made my every day task much easier!
Great full sized stackable washer and dryer. The sectional in the living room was pretty comfy and the tv is big and full HD. They even have all of the streaming apps available to use through their account though we still used our Apple TV for a few things.
The view I mentioned earlier looks out over the outdoor terrace and grilling area. Go to the front desk with your ID in exchange for their grilling kit and enjoy! The surrounding area is great! Whole Foods across the street, wonderful Asian market next door, good restaurants all around, 20 minute walk to Seattle Center as well as bus and train stops around the corner to get where you need with public transportation.
Another thing to mention is that getting mail and/or packages is very easy. Mail is normally delivered to the assigned mailbox and packages normally go to the concierge’s desk. Just ask for packages for your unit number and you’re all set.
The only “negatives” is that we’re pretty sure the unit is above the gym, so during normal business hours, you’ll hear residents dropping weights somewhat regularly (pet peeve). Also, we’re pretty sure the bed is a full and not a queen. As sad as we were to leave, returning home to our queen bed made the bed in the unit seem much closer to a full.
All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend staying at a Campbell Skye unit if you have the chance. We will be back, either here or another unit. Thank you for a memorable experience!
