This apartment is super cute but small. I would recommend it for couples or a family of 2 maybe 3 people. It is very close to Pikes Market and within walking distance of other entertainment such as the aquarium, shopping and the train rail system to get uptown. The complex itself smells strongly of weed and at night the neighbors get a little loud outside of the bedroom window. There is an ally way outside of the windows that is apparent people use frequently for fun. It didn’t bother us much but that is something people should know ahead of time. Mikayla does provide earbuds assuming for that reason. There are some pros and cons we would have wanted to be made aware of before our stay so here they are.
Pro: Close to Pikes Market and other shopping/entertainment. Apartment is fully functional with kitchen amenities and has a very spacious closet. There are toiletries provided which is nice in case you forget to bring something. Mikayla always responded super quickly with any problems or questions we had. The apartment tenants were all friendly and very helpful. For winding down there is wifi and tv apps like Netflix and other programs. The bed is comfy and she provides multiple pillows.
Cons: Parking close to the apartment is difficult. We found a garage about five blocks away that was “safe” from break ins and is constantly monitored. The front door to the complex got stuck so we couldn’t initially get in. Once we were in and obtained the keys, we could use the side entrance since the front door had continuous problems. The side entrance doesn’t have elevator so you have to climb four flights of stairs with bags. There is a broken lock on one of the windows in the apartment so the cold air came in at night. There are stains on the rugs where lots of foot traffic is, so it makes those areas look really dirty. The apartment is older and the walls are thin so you hear quite a bit of activity from others.
All in all it is a very cute small apartment and we enjoyed our stay. We brought our one year old with a pack and play and we’re able to move about the bedroom just fine. We were really only in the apartment during the later evening and nighttime so the cons weren’t a big issue for us. I would highly recommend this stay to friends and when we return to Seattle, there is a good chance we will be staying here again.
