First, the good: the apartment was clean and appears as described. The bed was comfortable and the towels were soft and fluffy. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of many shops and restaurants.
Next, the straight scoop: this place is small (I’ve stayed in several studios in Capitol Hill, this was the smallest). It’s cozy for one, might be a bit cramped for two. It’s also dark. There is a decent sized window in this basement apartment, but it looks out on a fence about a foot away. In fall/winter, very little light will filter in.
Check-in did not go as smoothly as promised. The keypad self check-in did not work because the previous person to leave locked the bottom door handle. Once I was able to reach Camila by phone after a few calls, she walked me through a way to get in, but it was not as expected.
Finally, the not so good: as noted by a previous reviewer, the smell of weed comes in through the vents and permeates the bathroom. The lobby of the building also smelled strongly of garbage. The walls were thin enough that I could hear the neighbors’ conversations at times. Not a deal-breaker, but might not be right for someone who is looking for quiet.
Overall, this place met my needs for a long weekend exploring Seattle and spending time outside the apartment, but I’m not sure I’d stay here again.
