We are so, so glad that we found Angielena’s place. This building has so much character, and if you’re into art and history you’ll have a ton of fun! You’ll find hardwood, original windows and doors throughout the building, gorgeous paintings from the resident artists line the halls, and the small details and thoughtful amenities make for an extremely comfortable stay. You very much feel immersed in the downtown experience, and for us, the city sounds were really neat to lull to sleep with. There are cozy, quaint shared living spaces and the kitchen is stocked full of all the appliances and utensils that you could possibly need. Also, the rooms themselves are spacious with high ceilings and feature a large window for cooling off the space!
The only minor downside we experienced was the bed itself — the bed frame/box spring are rather stiff and noisy, so you might wake yourself or others up if you move/turn in your sleep. But this is a very small price to pay, and we expected quirks and noises given the history of the space.
Overall, this is such a unique, well-kept, and pleasant stay, and we were thrilled to have found what feels like a hidden gem of the city. Further, if you plan to make use of Seattle’s public transit, there’s a bus stop for the 124 route right across the street which shoots directly downtown, making the space conveniently located for sightseeing. Angielena and the on-site manager Rick are such warm, inviting, and accommodating people, and we will absolutely stay again in a heartbeat!
