This was perfect for our first time stay in Seattle area. The location was perfect. Our mornings would start with coffee at the lakeside ( located across the street from the apartment) The neighborhood is beautiful with lots of good food options . I can especially recommend “Madison kitchen” for their amazing scones and sandwiches . We did not have a car and used Uber and the number 11 bus which takes about 20 minutes to the pike market ; very easy and convenient! You are a stone throw away from the washinington park ( a must ) and the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood! Never had any major noice coming from the nearby restaurants. The apartment itself is larger than I expected judging from the pics ! The bed is comfortable, self check in /out is what we usually prefer /no problems with the key coded entrance door. My partner and I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone! We did not want to leave !
