Pros:
Great location. Tons of cute restaurants and shops and things right by the place, free parking, 10min Uber to downtown, 20min Uber to the airport. Whole Foods walkable.
A nice prewar building. If you dig boho chic this is the place for you.
Super smooth and easy check in process.
A/C in the living room (rate for the PNW)
Cons:
This apartment is DIRECTLY above an event space, across the street from a CrossFit gym, around the corner from a hopping Cuban restaurant, and a relatively busy street is below. If you want a guaranteed quiet place, this is not for you.
Internet is pretty spotty and shared with the event space. If you’re looking to do serious work online or stream a ton, this space isn’t for you.
Extremely soft bed that probably needs to be replaced (8/2019) as it is very squeaky and dips significantly in the middle.
Kitchen essentials are very mismatched. If you cook a lot while you’re out on work the lack of cohesion with the plates and cups and cooking basics is slightly irksome. Not enough for me to complain, but having 8-9 different sized plates and 5 wine glasses but only 1 water glass is a little annoying.
Overall:
Would absolutely stay here again. I came in August which is the height of price gouging season up there and Margot’s place was pretty fairly priced even for the heaviest time of year. Some more communication between he venue and her and the tenants would be nice but I didn’t ever feel uncomfortable during my stay.
