The description of the apartment and location were accurate. It was compact yet spacious and the location was really strategic. Capitol Hill is a great place for restaurants, bars and shopping. It was on a quiet street and a few minutes from the Seattle Convention Center, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Amazon Fresh Supermarket plus there is a grocery store a stone's throw from the apartment. It's also a 15 min walk downhill to Pike Market and a 10 to 15 min drive to places of interest. The apartment was clean and had ample sleeping arrangements. Amara was responsive and we had no problems communicating with her. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone especially if it is your first visit to Seattle.
Few points to note if you are considering staying here:
1. There is an extra refundable security deposit of $250 to cover any damages.
2. You will also have to provide a photo of you holding up an ID before you check-in.
3. The car park and designated parking spot is pretty tight so not suitable for big vehicles.
4. There is a long, steep flight of stairs from the car park to the building lifts and will be hard if you have lots of luggage or big suitcases (we dropped our luggage by the side of the road in front of the apartment building and while one stood guard, the other parked the car and came down the carpark ramp rather than access via the carpark).
5. Picking up the keys to the apartment requires you to walk/drive to QFC building, park in the basement and go to a key cafe lock box. The location is eight blocks away (0.5 miles uphill) from the apartment. The key cafe is open 9 am to 11 pm.
6. I do not remember a ramp up to the building only steps.
So definitely book this apartment but travel light :)
