Shay was a fantastic host, and the apartment was exactly what we were looking for in Seattle! Everything looked exactly as pictured, and in fact felt even more like home when we walked in. It's a super clean and well laid-out apartment, and the amenities (kitchen, bath, outlet plugs, etc) were very nice and accommodating.

The location in Capitol Hill is unbeatable. The Capitol Hill light link rail station is only a 5-6 minute walk, and the city's transportation is pretty fantastic. However, we found that walking to Pike and Pine as well as Downtown Seattle were fairly easy. Bar crawling in Capitol Hill is much easier when you're staying only 10-15 min walk away!

The waterfront and Pike Place Market as well as Seattle Center are all easy to get to by foot or light link, and we did both depending on our day's schedule. If you have the energy, (and with the comfort of that amazing bed you will!) walking is a great way to really experience Seattle.

The neighborhood is very beautiful, with great architecture and many stores and restaurants/bars nearby. Just walking in the neighborhood was a nice getaway, because the views are just perfect. Pike & Pine is where we found a lot of our favorite places to eat and drink. Don't miss out on Clever Dunne's or Tortas Condesa!

Shay made our first trip to Seattle very enjoyable by opening his home to us, and we are so grateful for his hospitality and immediate availability throughout our trip. Any questions we had were answered immediately and helpfully. We would definitely stay here again if possible!! 5+ stars!!
