During our first trip to Seattle, it was important for us to find an apartment that was central to all the locations we wanted to visit and activities we had planned. Andre and Joel's apartment suited us perfectly. Just steps to Pike st (a major thoroughfare), Pike Place Market and a number of other attractions were less than a mile west, while less than a mile East is a very cool neighborhood called Capitol Hill; both easily walkable and with tons of shopping and dining options.

If you've never been to Seattle before, I highly recommend renting a car and driving around to the various neighborhoods, as they are spread out and not easily accessible without transportation. For that reason, I also recommend getting the parking pass that Andre and Joel offer for a small daily fee. The garage is just a few buildings down from the apartment and is open 24 hours. Street parking is very hard to come by in the neighborhood.

The apartment was very clean and cozy, with a full kitchen, comfortable bed, cable, and a washer and dryer en suite.

Andre and Joel themselves were extremely pleasant and attentive, and any questions I had were met with prompt response.

Overall, I highly recommend this place, and Seattle in general!
