Two Bedroom Apt on Capitol Hill (#4633)

Description of the Seattle vacation apartment rental

If you're coming for a vacation in Seattle, stay at Saint John's Apartments! Our two bedroom, number 304, is perfect for one or two couples or a family on vacation. There is one "master bedroom", a smaller "second" bedroom, and a really comfortable living/dining/kitchen space.

St John's, built in 1910, is a charming old building. There are two floors of apartments, 26 in all, over several retail spaces along Pike Street. We have 23 full time tenants. We decided to have short term rentals available after traveling abroad and seeing how much more convenient it is than staying in hotels. This apartment, #304, is on the top floor and has a great view of Pike Street below.

Before we started renting this as a short-term, the apartment was fully remodeled, with new paint, carpets and kitchen cabinets. The kitchen is small-it takes the length of one wall-but it works really well. There is a dining table seating four, and next to that a small living area with couch and large stuffed chair. We have a TV with DVD and VCR and an extensive movie collection, CD Stereo and large, eclectic collection of music. The apartment has cable TV and FREE wireless high speed internet.

The master bedroom is on the corner of the building, with windows looking out on Pike and Harvard. It has a California king bed (it's 6" longer than a regular king size bed...great for tall people.) The second bedroom has two twin beds.

Our parking lot is right behind building. Parking costs an additional $10 daily.

There is a sunny back deck that all the residents in the building share, with lounge chairs and a gas barbecue.
We have full time manager living in the building, Johnny Sidorowicz.
Johnny will handle making all the reservation arrangements, will check you in and out, and is there if you ever need anything.

To reserve we require a $150 deposit on Visa or MasterCard, the balance is payable when you check in. Please let us know if you'd like to stay with us.
Thanks!

We're in a great location. We're in what is know as the Pike-Pine Corridor, which denotes the two main streets that run from Seattle's Pike Place Market through the downtown shopping area and then up to the residential neighborhoods on Capitol Hill. The distance from St. John's down to the center of Seattle's shopping district is 10 blocks, the Pike Street Market is just 5 more. There are interesting stores, restaurants and businesses all along the way and it's an easy walk.

The neighborhood is busy day and night. This is a great place to people watch. Capitol Hill is a "bohemian" neighborhood, and we are in the middle of it, and there are people on the street all the time. Across the street from us is a large QFC grocery store, open 24 hours, and it draws people. And there are two bars across the street from us, and restaurants all around us. And the college is a block away. It's happening! So if you like watching/being part of that kind of city life, this is a great place.

The convenience of the grocery across the street should not be underestimated. The store is quite large and truly world class, with a great selection of fresh produce, an excellent deli, bakery, lots of cheeses, and good selection of wines right in the store, and lots more! And, there is a large drugstore above the supermarket.

There are two great restaurants in St Johns itself: two floors below the apartment is Ayutthaya Thai. If you like Thai food, you'll consider this a find. At the other end of the building is the Rosebud-- an American bistro menu, very moderately priced and very, very good!

By Judy (Stoughton, WI USA)

Hi, I came really close to choosing this apartment on Capitol Hill, but instead I chose a really nice B&B in the University District. However, now that I look at the location location location of this property, I SO wish I had chosen it. It is in the perfect place so close to everything we wanted to do. We would have had much more flexibility if we had stayed here. Oh well...next time. --Judy from Wisconsin

 

 Wonderful!, February 18, 2008

By Diane Kelly (East Windsor, NJ USA)

The accommodations were excellent and exceeded my expectations. The apartment was truly a "home away from home." Mark had stocked the kitchen with basic incregients and there also was a great supermarket across the street. I also cannot underestimate the comfort. The living room area was perfect for company- comfy couch and chair. In addition, the bedding in the master bedroom was exceptional- very good quality. I believe that Mark has thought of everything to make one's stay a extremely positive experience and I definitely will stay here again when traveling to Seattle.
