~~ About the Apartment ~~

Up the elevator to the 15th floor, a few shorts steps, and walk in to your Seattle abode and relax. Everything you need is here to enjoy your stay in almost 1400 square feet. Of course, free wifi is included!

Living Room ~ The living room features 2 new cream leather sofas and is tastefully decorated in modern shades of aqua. The high ceilings make it feel even more spacious. You won't miss the tremendous city views from here. There is a 40 inch flat screen (stream your own content). Plenty of room for our queen sized Aerobed if you need extra sleeping space (no sleeper sofa).

Kitchen/Dining ~ Right off the living room is the kitchen and dining, giving it the great room feel. The remodeled kitchen is fully equipped for all your cooking needs and features a breakfast bar with four stools. The clean white cabinets are set off by the gray quartz counter tops. The stainless appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and oven/stove. Near the windows off the living area is the dining area for four, plus 4 stools at the breakfast bar, so 8 guests can eat at one time.

Balcony ~ The balcony is just off the living area, and overlooks (15 stories up) 1st Ave. There are chairs and small tables out there for hanging out with family and friends. The city views are great and you are right in it! The Seattle Art Museum's iconic "Hammering Man" is right below you.

Primary Bedroom & Bath ~ The primary bedroom is large enough for a comfortable pillow-top king-sized bed, you will love the private bedroom. A dresser for all your things, not to mention closet space. Luxurious bedding only adds to the beautiful contemporary decor in this room. And don't forget the 32 inch flat screen TV. Past the closet, you'll find your private bath, complete with tub/shower and plenty of counter and cabinet space. It is also remodeled with gray quartz counter tops and includes towels, soaps, shampoo and a hairdryer.

Second Bedroom ~ Opposite side of the unit from the master bedroom is the 2nd bedroom featuring a queen bed, nightstands and a closet. The second full bath is just outside this bedroom as well.

Main Bathroom ~ Also spacious is the full bath with tub/shower, which is also remodeled with quartz counter tops. The aqua tones are carried throughout the apartment, including the lovely bathroom. Plush towels and even soaps and shampoo are supplied as well as a hair dryer.

Third "Bedroom" or den ~ Not a true bedroom with a door, but an additional sleeping space outside the 2nd bedroom and bathroom (across from kitchen - see floor plan photo). We have a day bed with trundle, so 2 twin mattresses with bedding. Trundle mattress is a 6" memory foam mattress. There is a privacy curtain as well.

Moving to Seattle

We stayed at this great apt in the heart of Belltown while we got a family member settled into their new digs in the same neighborhood. It was so great to have a base to come back to while we shopped for all the essentials and got the place set up!

Awesome Condo!

The condo was perfect for our stay in downtown Seattle. It had everything from the kitchen amenities to comfortable bedrooms. The views are great from the balcony with the ferris wheel on the water in one direction to the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) in the other direction. Very conveniently located to do all the fun things downtown Seattle has to offer.

Great Location

Great Location of property to all Downtown Seattle fun. Can walk to everything, even the stadiums and not worry about Ubers, taxis, or parking costs. If driving your own vehicle, the parking garage can be tight, but the property owner clearly states that in the description.

Great Location to Explore Seattle

You cannot ask for a better place to stay for exploring all that Seattle has to offer. It’s only two blocks to a Metro Link and two blocks to the waterfront, so everything was easily accessible without a car or a taxi. The apartment is well maintained, very clean, and had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. The city noise was expected but not intrusive. The apartment complex has many amenities to offer guests as well. I will definitely choose this again for a trip to Seattle.

Just OK for the money.

Unit was clean, furniture was not that great, kitchen was well equipped, lights were burned out, tv’s worked good, communicating with the property manager was really good, parking worked out well, location is good. Overall I thought it was pricey for what we got.

Christmas in Seattle

This was a great place to stay. From the 15th floor we had a magical view of the snow falling on the city and holiday lights . You couldn't ask for a better location we were right next to Pike Place . We cooked in a few nights and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and dishes etc. Everything was clean .The beds were comfortable. There were reading lights where you would want them. We will definitely come again and maybe next time we will look for an apartment on the water side of the building so that we could get a full view of the boats coming and going. Thank you for letting us stay it was perfect .

Best location

The property was perfect for our needs. 1 block from the wharf and one of the restaurants we had chosen for eating seafood, Elliotts. The ferry was also close. Also walking distance to Pike Place Market. Lots of shopping on the Avenue. Best of all, Von's Gustobistro is right there as well. They have great Mac and Cheese made with their homemade pasta and 1000 whiskeys all served on a great sun deck patio. Apartement is exactly as presented. Debbie was great to work with. The days were warm and the fans available in the apartment left the place comfortable. Great views from the balcony. Recommend ear plugs for those staying in the second bedroom. It is right next to the off-ramp and can be noisy. A white noise machine would help; however, the large fan can be used in the room and works as a white noise machine. I would book this property again the next time I go to Seattle. You cannot go wrong in booking this property. Sincerely, Nan and Paul Pappas

Great location

The “master” bedroom and the beds/pillows/linens were all second rate. Just a terrible bed that’s seen too many years in the master. All windows need better shades/curtains. We really appreciated all the fans bc there is no AC. Great kitchen. Walkability to Pikes was great! However, and this has nothing to do with the booking, Seattle is a dirty dumpster fire Lol.

Our impression was that this property was mediocre at best. The furniture was dated, the floor was not very clean, and the beds not so comfortable. We are from Florida, so we expected air conditioning. With the heat in the daytime there was a musty smell to the unit. The unit was also warm in the day but fine at night with windows open. We are frequent VRBO users, and we will not stay in this unit again. On a positive note the location was very convenient for restaurants nearby, attractions and waterfront. The staff were also helpful with questions.

7 of us stayed comfortably for 2 nights and 3 days. Yes there are some minor things that I can see that upset people like the check in but Debra explain directions well and we had no issues. I wish we could check in earlier but good thing is we were able to drop off our luggage at front desk which they locked our belongings in their closet ahile we explored Pikes. Overall the location is unbeatable.
