Our family of four found this to be the perfect home base for exploring Seattle. We like to feel part of a real neighborhood when we visit a city, and Capitol Hill Pike/Pine had it all: cafes and shops, an amazing bookstore where we spent happy hours reading, parks, special ice cream, fantastic and affordable food, a diverse community of neighbors ... Being close walking distance to the light rail meant cheap and stress-free access to the airport (and downtown, and the university), and there is also a streetcar, and good bus connections. Tri has outfitted the apartment with care. It is a sweet apartment in the gables of a traditional Seattle house, stylishly and unfussily decorated, with comfortable beds and linens, a fully outfitted kitchen, also thoughtful touches including charging cords for your devices and some games and activities bound to interest everyone from kids (coloring sheets, uno) to groups of adults (cards against humanity). Tri was a very solicitous and responsive host. I appreciated that he left a good house manual and clear instructions about the house, the neighborhood and the checkout procedure. One extra touch that was very thoughtful was that Tri has a luggage locker that guest can use if they arrive early or leave late. And the jelly beans he left us were appreciated too!
