Bare bones apartment good for sleeping but not for relaxing. Best for travelers who won't spend a lot of time at the Airbnb. We stayed for 4 nights and were disappointed since we were excited to stay and make more use of the space to relax on vacation. Easy check in/out with clear communication from host.
Location
- Walking distance to many cafes & bars and Pike Place Market.
- Paid parking. Tough to find, but not impossible.
- A bit sketchy after dark
- The area is relatively quiet
Furniture & Amenities
- The couch is the only place to sit in the apartment and is broken/damaged. The pink blanket in the listing photos conceals a large crater in the couch where padding is missing (very painful to find that out by flopping on the couch unawares). Two of the adjustable headrests are broken.
- The patio is unfurnished, standing space only.
- No coffee table or eating area. If you plan to cook meals, there isn't really anywhere to put your plates.
- There was no rug when we stayed despite one pictured in the listing.
- The TV was high quality and accessible.
- The bed was comfortable and the linens were clean.
- The shower water was hot, but ran out after one person showered.
Cleanliness
- The floor was dirty and the couch had crumbs in it.
- The bathroom soap dispenser was empty. There was no replacement hand soap, so we washed our hands with dish soap in the kitchen.
- There was no trashcan in the bathroom.
- The Dove body wash was an unwrapped, previously used bar of Dove soap.
- The refrigerator functioned well but had old milk and soda in it.
- For those who are sensitive, be aware that the apartment smells like marijuana and cigarette from people smoking under the windows and the smoke coming through the bathroom vent.
- The bathroom tub and shower were clean.
Overall, fine enough for the price but needed to be cleaner and more usable.
