If you're coming for a vacation in Seattle, stay at Saint John's! Apartment 304 is a perfect for one or two couples or a family on vacation. There is one "master bedroom", a smaller "second" bedroom, and a really comfortable living/dining/kitchen space.
St John’s was built in 1910. It is a charming old building. There are two floors of apartments over several retail spaces at street level. 304 is on the top floor and has a great view of Pike Street below.
The apartment has new paint, carpets and kitchen cabinets. The kitchen is smallish-it takes the length of one wall-but it works really well. There is a dining table seating four, and next to that a small living area with couch and large stuffed chair. We have a TV with DVD and VCR and an extensive movie collection, CD Stereo and large, eclectic collection of music. The apartment has cable TV and wireless high speed internet.
The master bedroom has a California king bed (it's 6" longer than a regular king size bed...great for tall people.) The second bedroom has two single beds.
We’re in a great location. The distance from St. John’s down to the center of Seattle's shopping district is 10 blocks, the Pike Street Market is just 5 more. There are interesting stores, restaurants and businesses all along the way and it’s an easy walk.
You should know before reserving with us: this is a lively neighborhood! It's busy day and night. Across the street from us is a large QFC grocery store, open 24 hours, and it draws people. And there are bars nearby, and restaurants all around us. So if you like watching/being part of that kind of city life, this is a great place. It's really fun.
But you should be aware, all that activity means people on the street until late at night, and at times they'll be talking, laughing--and you might hear them! Also, there is a bar directly across the street, and sometimes, late at night, you might hear the beat. We want everyone to know this in advance--we don't want any unhappy renters.
This is a great place to live, even if it's only for a few days or a few weeks. The convenience of the grocery across the street should not be underestimated: it’s nice to just walk over there and get anything you’d want. The store is quite large and truly world class, with a great selection of fresh produce, an excellent deli, bakery, lots of cheeses, and good selection of wines right in the store, and lots more! And, there is a large drugstore above the supermarket. There are restaurants all around us. It's a great base for any Seattle vacation!
We have a full-time, live-in manager, Johnny Sidorowicz, who takes care of making reservations and checking people in and out. Johnny lives in apartment 200 and if there's every anything you need while you're with us, he's always ready to help. To make a reservation first check our calendar, linked below. If the dates you want are free, send an email requesting a quote. Johnny will get back to you within a day. If you want to go ahead with the reservation, we require a $150 deposit on Visa or MasterCard. Johnny takes the numbers over the phone. Please give a call at 360 561 8831.
We'd love to have you stay with us! Thanks!

Why the Owner Chose Capitol Hill
We began the search for our apartment building over two years before we found St. John's. We were very particular about the location, because we wanted something that would be extremely convenient for both daily living (like having the grocery store across the street) and also for travelers that want to walk to the convention center or downtown. Plus our neighborhood on Capitol Hill is one of the most up-and-coming areas in the city, full of vibrant life, food, night clubs, shops, galleries, it's all here, right around us.
Owner's Map of Capitol Hill
St. John's is owned by Mark Chambers and Oda Egeland. We live in the country, about an hour from Seattle, and use the short terms apartments as our in-city get away when we come to town. We're both in our mid 50's, have retired from successful careers, love to travel and enjoy the finer things of life. We always stay in VRBO apartments when we travel. It is so much more fun, and typically much cheaper, than staying in hotels. When we began looking for an apartment building we wanted to have several units that we'd use for short term rental, simply because we thought it would be fun. And it has. We've met people from all around the world, and never had one bad experience. Everybody's been great It's a wonderful situation!
