My husband and I booked this condo for our 3 year wedding anniversary and what a treat. The location is absolutely fantastic. Very close to Pike's place, with just enough of a walk to to feel less guilty about what you just ate at the market. Also very close to the Link station, so you can ride to downtown from the airport and not have to rent a car. We're both in law enforcement and take safety/security very seriously. This condo is very secure with a keyed exterior entry and a heavy duty front door. The condo has everything one would need for a comfortable stay. It is VERY clean and the bed is extra comfortable.

Our only gripe about our stay was the loud neighbors across the hall on our first nights stay (Saturday). They decided to have a party with people coming and going until nearly 2am. We're early to bed & early to rise type so we were a bit tired the next day. Sunday was quiet and we slept well but on Monday the neighbors directly above opened their window above the bedroom and had a long conversation until midnight. If your a light sleeper or have toddlers who wake easily this may be an issue.

Overall extremely nice condo that is in the heart of the downtown Seattle. We will most surely like to stay here again on our next trip.

P.S. If your looking for outstanding Italian food try Machiavelli in the Capitol Hill area. Short walk away and the food is amazing.

Super place to stay and close to everything downtown! No complaints here, much better than spending $$ on some small hotel room. I must give special kudos to Michael and Barb - we had to change our itinerary after already already booking our stay. We were able to change our dates of stay with Michael and Bard without any penalties, charges, etc, thank you both for that! We loved our trip Seattle and are thinking about moving here :-)!! For those that are new to the area we must advise a trip to Vancouver - it was absolutely breathtaking and only about a 2 hour drive. Get the CityPass (google it) and make some time to go to the Boeing Facility, we didn't get to see all of it due to bad planning and an obvious visit is to Space Needle - much better @ night BTW. You really don't need a rental car unless you plan on the aforementioned. Bak to Michael and Barb, everything was provided and then some so I must say they take customer service to another level and are flexible should issues arise.

Even before our trip, communicating with Mike was a breeze! He responds quickly and is very thorough and thoughtful.

This was a great place to come home to after a long day of exploring Seattle. It's in a central location close to many public transportation options as well as being a short walking distance from food, shopping and tourist spots. The building exterior seems older, but the space itself is very nice and features modern furnishings and all the amenities you need. Having Wi-Fi made it convenient for us when researching what to see, finding directions, and deciding which of the many restaurants options we wanted to try.

These are a couple of restaurant recommendations within walking distance:
-Terra Plata
-Blueacre Seafood

Quick Tip: Though you don’t need to rent a car if you stay in the area, there is a Hertz a short walk away. We ended up needing a car at the last minute, so it was quite convenient.

This is one of the best of the many vacation rental apartment experiences that I have ever had; from start to finish, everything was perfect. The listing was accurate, reservations easy, directions to the apartment clear and simple. The apartment itself is well located for all downtown attractions, and with easy access to the building, through the back. The apartment itself is a jewel. Every room is tastefully furnished and laid out, and the kitchen is well-stocked and easy to work in. I found the furniture and the bed extremely comfortable, a real plus that is often not the case in rental apartment furnishings. Over and above all this, the owners have paid a lot of attention to detail and I found every aspect of the apartment well thought out to enhance the client's stay, from the artwork that adorns the walls and shelves, to the abundant storage spaces, to the selection of reading materials for both children and adults, and even to the two flat screen tvs with cable and a selection of dvds for vacationers who simply want to stay at home a couple of evenings. The apartment was in immaculate condition when I entered; all the furnishings are in like-new condition; it is easy to envision a stay of a month or more in an apartment with this level of decor and functionality.

I had the good fortune to meet Mike and Barb personally. I came down with a fever that knocked me out for about four days, and called them to ask if I could extend my stay a couple of days, because I was in no condition to travel. They rushed over as soon as they got off work with delicious homemade chicken soup, bottled water, fruit, and other goodies to help me get better, and because they could see that I had lost so many days of my vacation due to the illness, they refused to let me pay them for the extra couple of days I spent there! It's rare to find people like Mike and Barb; but on the other hand, their Good Samaritan efforts with me are totally consistent with the services that they routinely provide for their guests: always, over and above what one would expect from owners of similarly priced apartment rentals.

I will be returning to Seattle on a regular basis; Mike and Barb's apartment here is my "Home away from home" in this city. As you can see from what I have written above, I would recommend this apartment without reservations to anyone who is considering a trip here.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay. The property owners were quite helpful with our early arrival, and allowed us to store the bags in the storage unit while they prepared the unit. The unit itself was very clean and felt larger than the pictures illustrated. We had a wonderful stay, we really had zero issues during our 7 day stay; the bed was extremely comfortable, the wi-fi was great, the kitchen was well stocked and had most anything you would need to prepare dinner (as we did with fresh eats from Pikes Place), the two LCD TV's were nice, and the couch was so comfortable my girlfriend has demanded to know where we can buy one.

The location was ideal for us, a short 5-10 minute walk to Pikes Place market, or restaurants in Capital Hill, a 5 minute to the Westlake transit station and the monorail to City Center. There are dining options and shopping all around, and the rear entry into the building meant no waiting on elevators. Another plus, as we rented a car for a trip to Mt. Rainier, getting to and from I-5 is very easy from unit.

We will certainly stay here again the next time we're in Seattle. We had a wonderful time.

Mike and Barb, what a wonderful and convenient place!! The pictures are exactly what you get. Comfortable bed! I love and want your sofa!! :) You have all the extra ammenities that are needed. Soaps, lotions, laundry detergent, blow dryer, iron. cups, glasses, plates and utensils! i even rented a couples movies and used the DVD player. You cant beat this place!, easy to get into building, friendly people in the building, laundry service in the building and safe!!! The location is just perfect to everything. Pike place market, capital hill, paramount theatre, westlake, many restaurants, bars, and easy access to 99 and I-5 freeways. I will definitely come back!! Thank you sooo much for everything!! oh and your hints on parking were perfect. i found a great spot and had it all week!! Thanks again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. The condo was well-kept with attention to detail and more amenities than I expected. With the comfortable inflatable mattress it was more than enough space for the four of us to sleep. The best part of the condo was it's convenient location relative to the convention center and downtown. It was so nice rolling out of bed in the morning and having such a short walk to the convention center.

On the whole, my interactions with the owner were friendly and professional. The instructions for check in and check out were well written and accurate.

If you're looking for a great sandwich shop for breakfast or lunch, check out the New York Cafe. We found them on day one and ended up going back at least once a day for their ridiculously yummy food.

The only complaints we have are things beyond the owners control like noisy neighbors and lack of parking, but I suppose that's par for the course in big city living.

I highly recommend this condo as home base for your seattle adventure, and look forward to the next time I get to stay here.

This condo location is great! If you are a veteran or a newbie walking/transit to it all is easy and fun from here. Being on the back side...shady and lower floor was a God's send, for we had 14 days of heat and not a drop of rain...over all the accommodation was very comfortable and worked well for my daughter and my self.
A new mattress may be due and I am not too sure where exactly you put up that blow up bed but we ended happy and SUPER tan and thank the owners for letting their unit.
