Parking spot was really good, the only problem I had was the smell of the unit. Couldn’t tell if it was the trash 12ft below us or the one on the unit. Other than that it was fantastic.

I was left out on the street my first night. They informed me someone would meet me at the door and no one ever did, despite clear communicate and repeated phone calls on my end. I waited for over 1 hour, then had to go get a hotel room for the night.Other than that, the room was fine. All was as expected.

The place was nice. Close to the Convention Center. The parking spot made this a clear winner in downtown Seattle. The room is next to the elevator which was super convenient to get in and out of the building easily. Would definitely stay again.

This is an excellent location, you really can’t beat it if you are going to see a show or wanting a walkable spot. The apartment however left a little to be desired. The bathroom has no fan in it, there is no frame for the bed and some of the pull out sofa bedding was dirty when we arrived. It lacks comfort items like a working overhead light and fan in the main bedroom and the router for the internet was just flung on the floor. The router was also unplugged when we got there so we spent sometime trouble shooting that before we realized. Overall it was an okay place to stay, the kitchen was nice and the location was excellent. The hosts were good at communicating but I would say, you get what you pay for with this property.

We left after one night because in the dining room/living room, there is a window that’s propped open by an air conditioner tube. The apartment is on the 12th floor and it’s impossible to lock this window. To make matters worse, the window is very close to the chairs at the dining room table. We have a two year old who likes to climb and it would have been no problem for her to climb on the chair, open the window and scramble out. It’s extremely unsafe for young children.

Mixed review

Wifi password and user name given was incorrect. We checked on the modem for correct one. Water leak sensor went off and we had to deal with it ourselves as the property manager was unavailable. No leak but battery dying. Property looks somewhat beat up and neglected although mostly clean. Stains on upholstery and blankets. Hardly any towels. Felt secure and great location just off pike street; fairly easy walk to main areas.

Perfect location

Location was perfect. Attending conference and we were literally 2 minutes from the front door. Close to Pikes Market, downtown, Capital Hill. The building is clearly dated but our unit was renovated, very clean*, and well equipped for a short stay. * About the bathroom, it needs deeper cleaning and the mold issue around the tub absolutely needs to be addressed.

Nice place close to Seattle's tourist spots

We enjoyed our 3 nights in this condo. Nice big bed in the single bedroom. Pull-out sofa bed worked well for the kids. Kitchen and dining area were nice. We appreciated the building security (need code for the main entrance, and a fob to get in from the back parking lot we used). Communication with our check-in guy was good; only issue is he had to check in somebody else first, so we had a little wait. While we did get the code to enter the building in advance, we had to wait for the physical keys to our unit. I also wish they would give exact parking instructions prior to arrival, considering it's a big city; we parked a few blocks away on the street, then luckily were able to walk in and get parking info from the building desk attendant before meeting with our check-in guy. Our parking space was in a small back lot that you need yet another code to drive into. The door for one of the building's 3 elevators also happens to be right outside the unit, which was nice.

Great location, kind hostess, nice home

Our stay at Simon’s place was amazing. He was very accommodating, letting us check in a couple hours earlier upon communication. Simon gave us a tour of the apartment building (the rooftop is a must-see). Simon also gave us a list of cool recommendations for the city! The home is fully stocked and overall, a nice place to stay. The location is perfect. The safety is good. Overall, I would recommend staying here! Thanks for the great stay, Simon!

We contacted customer support day off because we had not heard from the greeter. The email said we would hear from them 1-2 days prior to arrival. Customer service said we already had all the info we needed, which we knew wasn’t true. The greeter contacted us 2 hours prior to check-in. Upon arrival, our off street parking spot was taken and the greeter said it would get resolved within a few hours, but we would have to pay for parking until then. One of our reasons for choosing this place was for the off street parking. There was no offer to pay for our street parking until it was resolved. I did not hear an update within a few hours so I had to reach out to the greeter again. Finally the car did move late at night. There were also no sheets for the pull out couch which we needed. I contacted the greeter in the evening and he said he’d try to get us some sheets. We woke up to him pounding at the door at 12:20 am with no communication prior that he’d be coming by. The place wasn’t the cleanest but ok. The dishwasher hadn’t been unloaded and the WiFi wasn’t even plugged in. After all of this was resolved it was an ok stay, just a rough start. Location was good - walking distance to just about anything which was great!

Great Location!

Everything was as advertised in photos, however the check-in process isn't normal. I had to meet with someone to get the keys instead of getting keys in a lockbox. This is the first property where I had to meet with someone. Otherwise the location is perfect to everything that you need and want to do in caphill. Walking to Space Needle was about 20-25 minutes. Would stay here again.
