This apartment was perfect for two people looking to be at the center of Capitol Hill. Everything was super walkable—about a 15 min walk to Pike/Pine, less than an hour walk from the Public Market, and about a 2 hour walk to the University. There is also a transit station across the street. You also feel like you're outside of the touristy areas and can really get a sense of what it's like to live in the neighborhood.
Some notes I'd offer for people coming from out of town:
-Street parking was really tough. The host recommends some garages close by, which was super helpful, but we drove in after 11:30 one night when the garages were closed and finding parking was pretty nuts. I would just plan ahead and not put yourself in that position, or risk some parking that might get you a ticket.
-In the mornings and evenings there were a lot of homeless people outside of the apartment. This didn't bother us and we felt very safe through our entire stay but I would just be aware of your surroundings and diligent with locking doors etc.
Overall this was a great stay and we really enjoyed the place! Thanks to Matthew for making the experience super breezy.
