This is a great little studio, close to friendly and eclectic little bars and restaurants, a grocery store, and within walking distance to Pike Market and Starbucks Roastery. Its about a 2 mile walk (downhill) to these sites, and you’ll definitely get a good workout in if you walk both to and from!
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that if you stay here you are close enough to the city center that you may encounter some pockets of things that are found in the city if you walk around beyond the 1-2 block radius of the apartment: building graffiti, an occasional vagrant, litter, etc. However, we never felt unsafe. There are also GORGEOUS homes and foliage in this neighborhood that we enjoyed on our walks.
The unit is absolutely darling and comfortable, spotless, nicely updated and well-appointed. Cara is on-site and available, responsive to messages or questions. We had a great little visit on the back deck one morning (sorry to make you late to your meeting, Cara!)
This is a perfect location for a single person or couple looking to be close to downtown, especially if traveling without a car.
