The apartment is fantastic. Everything is precisely as described, perhaps better! It is brand new, fully equipped and extremely pleasant. We didn't want to leave :)
The location is perfect. A few minutes' walk from Capitol Hill's excellent bars and 10-15 minutes from downtown.
Although we didn't meet Shay, he was super nice and helpful. While he doesn't live in the area, he's 100% available to answer any questions.
Will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Seattle.
