Siena was extremely nice and accommodating. I have bad allergies and asthma, and I needed all unscented cleaning and laundry products used in the apartment. She even bought me special soap! Siena was also kind enough to send me a list of wineries that are kid friendly. My family of 4 stayed in the apartment. My children are 18 and 20. There was ample space for all of us. The apartment could easily handle one more person. It was so nice to have 2 bathrooms! The kitchen is what you would expect for a city apartment. The appliances are not brand new, but everything worked fine. There are pots and pans, foil, plastic bags, and everything else. Siena even stocks the refrigerator with wine and beer for you!! She brought a new table and chairs over during our stay, and it's very nice.
It was unusually hot while we were there. I think almost 90 degrees one or two days. Seattle did not reach the 90 degree mark all last summer. The mobile air conditioner worked very well. The bedrooms were fine for sleeping. There is a ceiling fan in the master bedroom and a box fan for the other. We had the windows open some, and there were no bugs.
We loved the apartment, and would definitely stay again.
We did rent a car, and I would recommend the parking spot if you do. I did not see any street parking available while we were there for 6 days.
The apartment is an easy walk to Pike Market. There are tons of shops and restaurants along the way too. And, of course lots of Starbucks! We did drive to the Space Needle, and you can valet park there. The restaurant at the top of the Space Needle is excellent, and it spins around. But, it is very pricy.
