I love Julia’s place. This is my second time staying in the garden apt. It’s a really sweet space. It was incredibly clean upon my arrival; Every surface, including the floor was immaculate. I love the tall ceiling with the exposed rafters; it makes the space feel really roomy. Julia is a friendly, responsive & all around awesome host. All of her instructions were thorough & clear.
The balcony that belongs to this apartment is such a nice place to just chill and imbibe the city air. It’s like a little oasis. I must add that it is unusually quiet, except for the usual early morning hustle and bustle of the city, at least to me it was. I’m a night owl so I just put on some soothing sleepy time music and slept right through the morning traffic sounds. Oh, and the heater works great! It heats up the space really fast.
I really hope the bar downstairs & the pizza place next door come back to life. They both look really cool, but for now they are closed probably due to COVID, I’m guessing.
Parking is plentiful in several nearby lots, and if your up at weird hours like I am, street parking is not hard to find either. You just have to time it right.
The kitchen is well equipped & I had all the utensils, pots, pans, mixing bowls, graters, chopping blocks that I needed to cook my meals. And, I forgot my hot sauce that I always pack with me, and there were a couple of bottles of good hot sauce in the cupboard so I didn’t even have to go grocery shopping.
I also want to mention that I felt very safe in the building, and that was important, and a relief because I know Seattle has been having some issues lately. I really look forward to staying again sometime in the future. You can’t go wrong with this place! Thanks again, Julia:)
