We had a wonderful stay at this vcasa property and would highly recommend it. What we loved: Perfect Location: Central and incredibly convenient for getting around Seattle. Hassle-Free Parking: Having a dedicated parking spot was a huge plus and made our trip so much easier. Great Amenities: The bed was very comfortable, and the place was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and to cook our own meals. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again!
Perfect for a downtown adventure. You can basically walk everywhere.
Being so close to downtown , and of course your Amazing Crew. Made it most enjoyable .
Overall, our experience was average. The location is good in terms of proximity to major tourist attractions, but it’s important to note that everything requires a car, there’s essentially nothing within walking distance. We were traveling with a young child, and the place did not feel particularly family-friendly, which may be something for other families to consider. The apartment itself has a good structure, appears to be recently renovated, and is generally comfortable. However, the heating system is quite noisy, which can be disruptive, especially at night. Additionally, some of the kitchen utensils were not completely clean. In summary, it’s a place with some positive aspects, but there is room for improvement to provide a more comfortable overall stay. That said, you do get what you pay for.
This property is showing its age and is not well represented by the pictures online. First the good- the location is excellent walking distance to the piers and especially Pike Place. And convention center. The not so good- the bathroom was disgusting and had mold both on the tub and the shower curtain. The fan and light did not work in the main bedroom and the pull out couch had major stains on the mattress. It really needs to be painted and cleaned etc.
The space was great for my visit. Check in was handled in a detailed manner by my greeter. Amenities were ready for my use. There is also easy on street parking if you have guests or additional parking needs.
