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!
If you're interested please send an e-mail or give me a call...I'm Mark Chambers. I own the building (with my wife) and we'd love to be your hosts when you stay in Seattle! Thanks! |
