James was a very great host. Easy to get in touch with, reasonable about our late check out and had a lot of great suggestions for the city.
The place itself is in a really old building that has a pungent smell throughout the halls.
PROS:
The actual apartment itself didn’t smell! The actual inside of the apartment is relatively updated, clean and bright. Lots of pretty windows with some cool city views. It’s in a great location and is super walkable to a ton of great restaurants, coffee shops and bars. This was a huge plus. Super convenient and Capitol Hill is amazing.
CONS:
We couldn’t see the space needle from the windows as was pictured in the photos and that was kind of a bummer.
It’s on a really busy intersection with cars, people, you name it. Unfortunately even the provided ear plugs couldn’t keep the outside noise from disturbing my sleep. It was really loud even on Mon-Wed and I slept terribly.
I think since the building is so old the windows are single pane and do not get rid of any outside noise. We opted to stay in one night and at times had to pause the movie due to the traffic noises on the streets.
This major con unfortunately outweighed the pros for me. If you’re a heavy sleeper then you should be fine.
