Love it!

4/5

Modern, stylish place with great location. I would love to book it again

Cute place but could have been better...

3/5

We rented this place for 7 days. Arriving at the location using Google led us 20 minutes away from where we were supposed to be. We drove around while trying to reach Angela whom was not responding. Eventually she did call back and made us aware this always happens using Google to try a different platform. We then found the apt. Upon arrival, it was the coldest it has been in years in Seattle and the heat was completely turned off and the apartment was freezing. It took a full 24 hrs to warm up. Not a warm welcome. The door to get in and out of the unit is malfunctioning and anyone can get in if wanted very easily which is not safe in Seattle. The lights above the bed were burned out and no smoke detector where that should have been. Not having a smoke detector is illegal. I mentioned all of this to Angela who stated it was illegal and she would come by asap to correct the issues, we never heard from her again. There is a clenaing fee so I expected to come into a clena apt. That was not the case. The bed, wall side in between was disgusting and has not been cleaned in some time. The rugs have not been vaccummed in some time either. All the wall decor has a layer of dust caked on it. They want you to remove all garbage, no problem but there were no garbage bags provided. If you are looking to relax and sleep, this is not the place. The neighbors upstairs were so loud and had no mind thta people are downstairs. They have a dog that doe snot sit still and just barks and it sounds like its right next to you in your apartment. Cute place but minor details ignored. I would find somewhere else to stay if needing a place in this area.

Good overall

4/5

Good overall, a former person noted the legs of the bed frame breaking and it seemed the solution was to take them off and just have the bed frame on the ground which is.. an odd, solution. Also yes the electric turn dial thermostat is still broken, only goes on/off, but also there is a heat pump that does pretty good. I couldn't figure out how to connect to the Chromecast but managed to connect to a fire stick instead, so it worked out. :) The mini fridge does not have a freezer section, but the hosts went above and beyond to quickly remedy any issues I had and I appreciated them. As a whole the unit is very nice and comfy and the bathroom is huge which is awesome. Parking was easy and check in was a breeze.

3/5

Overall was nice however the bed was shaky from the start and woke up from a nap one day to a leg breaking off and then further inspecting other legs were bent or missing. Solution was to take the legs off and put the bed frame on the ground. They heat would not shut off now matter what temperature you set it to. Had it all the way to 41 degrees and it was constantly running. Location and size was nice though.

4/5

We had a great time staying here during our trip to Seattle. The host was very accommodating and the place was very clean upon arrival. Great location too! So close to a lot of great places. AC worked great and there was a fan too if it got too warm. Internet wasn’t great and the Chromecast didn’t work super well, but we spent a lot of time out so that wasn’t much of an issue. My only warnings/feedback are about parking and security. We may have just been unlucky, but most of the time we came back to the location there were 0 places to park. We got lucky just a couple of times with a place to park on the street in front so just a warning to plan for that if you have a car. I felt like security could use a little upgrade, maybe an extra lock inside? The keypad code was easy and there was no other security besides that so I feel like anyone could walk up and figure the code out to get in if they wanted to. Also there are other people who live above and there isn’t really any sound dampening in the complex so it sometimes sounds like an elephant is walking above you. All in all we had a fantastic time and would recommend this place to a friend for a short stay.
