    I've loved living in this location. It's extremely walkable and feels very safe to me. The unit itself is great and whenever there's been issues maintenance and staff have been very responsive.

    3.5/5 Riley on Jul 8, 2023

    This building is in one of the best locations in Seattle. Walking distance to tons of restaurants and shops. The building itself is nice and simple, with a very convenient door system. The building manager is a little bit lazy, as when we moved in there were a handful of things we needed to address and have fixed. But otherwise, great spot.
