This place is exceptional!
Elta's communication prior, during and upon departure was so on point. She provided great detail, helpful information and made sure we had everything we needed. She even contacted us with notifications (when my package arrived and when the internet service provider was onsite).
Elta has thought of every last detail including USB ports (many outlets for technology), power-strips, a fan (for unusual hot weather, she also has a swamp cooler in the bedroom), quality bedding and towels (plenty extra in closets), kleenex around the condo, makeup remover pads/Q-tips, shampoo/conditioner, Netflix, Hulu and other tv services, games/playing cards, maps. Even the kitchen had every cooking item you could need including spices, tea, coffee. We loved our cooking experience.
We are urbanist and love the downtown lifestyle so we enjoyed morning coffee in the sitting area with the windows open over looking the cityscape. The bed is so comfortable and we left the windows open over night. We are in the heart of the tourist area - Public Market is one block from us, but it gets quiet late evening. It was kind of fun to see the activity in the building across the way. We had blackout shades and window coverings so we always had privacy.
This is the PERFECT location if you want to be on the waterfront. Staff is SUPER nice, the community patio is beautiful over-looking the Public Market. No one was ever using the pool when I went swimming. It was great to have it to myself. The gym has everything you want and maybe there are two other people there at any given time.
If you like french food we loved Le Coin, Place Pigalle and Maximilien. Get reservations for the patio. They can't guarantee patio seating, but you will be successful if you eat before 6:30pm.
We walked all over the waterfront and took public transportation everywhere (buses). We did NOT rent a car and used Link from SeaTac. Best way to experience Seattle. When we went to hikes outside the city we joined others using Viator online to find guided/group tours. You can also find group hikes on Airbnb. Look up Susan Hill on Viator - search "Forest Hike to Gorgeous Twin and Snoqualmie Falls." She was amazing! We also went to Dirty Harry's Balcony. A solid hike.
I would book with Elta again! Our entire experience was top notch.
