Conveniently located in downtown Seattle just a 10 minute walk from Pike Market.
Kitchen and living room were great. Bedrooms are a bit dated but everything was clean and comfortable.

Nice older property with comfortable beds. The building in general, could use some updating. Elevator was quick. The hallways had an odor smelling of urine outside our door, but improved further down the hall. Our unit did not smell. Few towels were provided and bathroom toiletries included a 1 oz. bottle of each body wash, shampoo and conditioner. No bar soap provided for the shower. (Four women rented this unit so the toiletries were not sufficient.) Doug, the manager of the building, was accommodating providing extra linens and a few more bath items upon request. The location was wonderful. We walked around the city and were less than 1 mile from Pikes Place Market. A small convenience store is nearby for snacks although they were pricey. Starbucks 4-5 blocks away. Many restaurants and bars to visit near this property.

Great location. Limited bathroom supplies. Sheets, comforter, pillows need washing. Poor springy mattresses. Check in and out easy.

We saw everything we wanted to see in Seattle by walking or taking public transportation from this location.

We planned out New years stay at this location but we had an overall bad experience as far as the condo is concerned. we were checked in by the care taker of the property who was a nice person. He brought a heavy luggage climbing several stair to the elevator, while I was carrying other stuff. But that's about where the short good experience about the stay ended There was no liquid soap in the bathroom and the toilet was soiled in feces. Perhaps the cleaning person used the toilet before leaving not realizing that the flush does not work. Next AM when we used the toilet it did not flush and we informed the caretaker about both the soap and the broken toilet. He came after we left and fixed it. However it was a temporary fix as it clogged again with the next use. We informed him again but he asked us to use the plunger in place already and we had to unclog it with the plunger after every use. THe plunger was a permanent fixture of the bathroom so I am sure other visitors had the same problem. Night became an unexpected adventure as there was no heating after 11 PM. WE had to bundle up with multiple blankets and our son caught cold during our stay. THe building had some weird schedule for heating, where heating would turn on and off for the entire building at certain times. For e.g there was no heating from 11 PM to 5 Am or so. Hence we had to crank it up late evening till 11 PM, so that we could survive those 6 hours when it would be off. That would make the unit so dry and hot during late evening, sometimes we had to open the windows to maintain some humidity in the unit. Also the heating regulator was from 100s of years old, not a modern digital one. SO we had no idea how much heat we have increased until it would take effect in about 20 minutes or so. Next AM when we used the toilet it did not flush and we informed the caretaker about both the soap and the broken toilet. He came after we left and fixed it. However it was a temporary fix as it clogged again with the next use. We informed him again but he asked us to use the plunger in place already and we had to unclog it with the plunger after every use. THe plunger was a permanent fixture of the bathroom so I am sure other visitors had the same problem. The floors and carpet, while otherwise clean gave you a feeling of being very old, perhaps carpet never changed or steam washed. One could not step on the floor or carpet without socks on. The parking was there but it was very tight.

Needs upgrades. Electrical fixtures didn't work. Bathtub and shower dangerous!

After dealing with airport delays and finally arriving in Seattle, Doug was very accommodating with checking in and was pleasant whenever we crossed paths throughout the week. While the building is older, it was clean and we felt secure. The apartment was clean. I've seen other comments about the highway noise, we didn't feel it was overly noisy. We used the AC unit once and it cooled the whole apartment and wasn't any noisier than a window unit. All in all, we loved Seattle and felt happy to return each night to the apartment.

We loved this little condo. Doug the greeter was so friendly and helped us get checked in and out. The condo is on the 14th floor of a highrise downtown apt building. Within walking distance a few blocks up are a bunch of cute bars and a fun Starbucks tasting room. Revolution wine bar has excellent rose slushies (get the pinot grigio flavor). We took an Uber to Ray's Boathouse for a fancy seafood dinner but in hindsight we should have just used our rental car (there is parking under the condo bldg.). If you walk down the street you pass the Convention Center and it's about a 8-10 minute walk to Pike Market which is amazing. We ate at Ella's for brunch which was really good. Argosy Lochs cruise was well worth it and highlight of trip! Did the underground tour and it was mediocre. Space Needle is worth it for the good pictures if it's sunny. We completely lucked out on weather and had no rain which was amazing! Overall the condo fit our needs although the pictures make it seem fancier than it is. No central air but the window unit and fans that were provided made it comfortable for us Texans!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I almost had to answer "no" to the "Would you recommend this property to a friend?" only because the next time I'm in Seattle I don't want my friend in there. Great location and the property managers clearly care about who's there and the condition the unit is in. They've added some nice little touches like leaving a bag of popcorn for us and having a fully stocked spice rack. The unit is well laid-out to take advantage of the space available and the four of us felt comfortable during our stay (and two of those in there were teenage boys). Highly recommended ... just not when I want to be in the city. ;)

Really like this place and will stay here again. And, we knew that the sofa is slippery, but forgot, remembered to bring our own pans and knives, will remember to bring some glasses to leave behind. Built in the early 50's I'm told, staying there is a treat.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A friend and I stayed 4 nights and enjoyed this modestly-sized flat. Pros: great location, many tasty restaurant options nearby, updated apartment in older building, attractive decor, decently set up for light cooking, quiet neighbors, clean and fresh. Cons: freeway noise, radiant heat is noisy in early AM, uncomfortable couch with no alternative seating except dining chairs, portable air conditioner prevents closing window blind for privacy. Overall, a great location and generally nice accommodation, but if you are a light sleeper it is likely to be too noisy, especially in summer. I would happily stay again, but I know my husband would not sleep well enough.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family stayed here because of the very convenient distance from popular sites in Seattle. Turns out, that was the places only appeal. The place was awkward to get into for us, and extremely difficult to find for anyone we tried to meet up with. The quality of amenities was poor at best. The elevator constantly smelled like weed. When they say there is only one parking spot for you they mean it. Friends had to park in a very shady area quite a bit away. The heating system is awful and was either blistering or freezing with little to no control over which. Furniture was the most uncomfortable I think they could possibly find. Definitely only stay here if you're planning to be out most your stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at the centrally located Elektra puts everything (well most everything) within walking distance. The apartment was perfect for 3 adults and a teenager. It was clean, everything was in good shape and worked fine. Everything u would expect when renting a apartment on ur vacation. Only thing that could have been improved was if there were more flatware. A little skimpy on forks, lol. Also we never did find a glass measuring cup. But we survived just fine. When we return to Seattle, this will be an apartment we hope to rent again. I give it a double thumbs up.

The check in process was seamless and Doug did a great job of showing me everything. A couple things, I'm not sure how this happened, but the first night, a yellow jacket somehow came into one of the bedrooms. That was a pleasant surprise to wake up to getting stung multiple times. Also, one of the last nights, I was bit by a bug (I think) in the face a few times. Not sure how either of these happened since we never opened any windows and just used the A/C instead. Overall the apartment was great and would likely stay there again
