Welcome to our charming vintage Condo located next to the Convention Center in the heart of Seattle! This Condo combines modern comforts with historical character. If you’re looking for a unique experience in Seattle and appreciate the charm of older buildings, this is the perfect spot for you.

An ideal home base for business travelers and leisure visitors alike, this 12th-floor condo sits at the meeting point of Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle within walking distance to the Convention Center, easy access to I-5, Swedish Hospital, and countless restaurants, boutiques, and theaters. The condo itself is bright and comfortable, with east-facing city views and contemporary furnishings. There's a convenient desk workspace as you walk through the front door, as well as a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and a pass-through window to the living room. You can watch Netflix as you cook, or wait to kick back on the sofa after serving dinner at the dining room table for four. Additional amenities include free WiFi, another desk workspace in the bedroom, a game room in the building (available upon request to the concierge), and a shared roof deck with views of downtown, Elliott Bay, Lake Union, and the Fourth of July fireworks.

Please note: Due to the historic nature of this building, you may encounter sounds and smells typical of older structures. The Elektra building features a boiler heating system typical of older buildings. While it provides warmth during your stay, you may experience some noise as it operates. These sounds are simply part of its story!

Book as soon as you can, great location and the kitchenette is fully stocked.

Kitchen has all the amenities, right down to a French press and a colander for a pasta night. Plenty of room and very quiet. Security is top notch, access code worked every time.

We loved the location. The unit was great and communicating with the manager was easy. Our only negative was the freezer made a loud noise nearly the whole time and the toilet water ran. Definitely 8/10. We would go back anytime.

Great location, kind hostess, nice home

Our stay at Simon’s place was amazing. He was very accommodating, letting us check in a couple hours earlier upon communication. Simon gave us a tour of the apartment building (the rooftop is a must-see). Simon also gave us a list of cool recommendations for the city! The home is fully stocked and overall, a nice place to stay. The location is perfect. The safety is good. Overall, I would recommend staying here! Thanks for the great stay, Simon!

Perfect location

Location was perfect. Attending conference and we were literally 2 minutes from the front door. Close to Pikes Market, downtown, Capital Hill. The building is clearly dated but our unit was renovated, very clean*, and well equipped for a short stay. * About the bathroom, it needs deeper cleaning and the mold issue around the tub absolutely needs to be addressed.

Good location, 3.5 stars overall

I loved the location of this rental for accessibility to all of the things we wanted to do. The rental itself has seen better days. The furniture is pretty beat up, the bed is woefully uncomfortable, and the wifi (and TV) didn't work the entire time we were there. Vacasa staff was consistently pleasant and responsive to the wifi issues, and attempted to address it, but nothing was resolved and we were without wifi during our stay. Vacasa did make it up to us, which was gratifying.

Mixed review

Wifi password and user name given was incorrect. We checked on the modem for correct one. Water leak sensor went off and we had to deal with it ourselves as the property manager was unavailable. No leak but battery dying. Property looks somewhat beat up and neglected although mostly clean. Stains on upholstery and blankets. Hardly any towels. Felt secure and great location just off pike street; fairly easy walk to main areas.

Nice place close to Seattle's tourist spots

We enjoyed our 3 nights in this condo. Nice big bed in the single bedroom. Pull-out sofa bed worked well for the kids. Kitchen and dining area were nice. We appreciated the building security (need code for the main entrance, and a fob to get in from the back parking lot we used). Communication with our check-in guy was good; only issue is he had to check in somebody else first, so we had a little wait. While we did get the code to enter the building in advance, we had to wait for the physical keys to our unit. I also wish they would give exact parking instructions prior to arrival, considering it's a big city; we parked a few blocks away on the street, then luckily were able to walk in and get parking info from the building desk attendant before meeting with our check-in guy. Our parking space was in a small back lot that you need yet another code to drive into. The door for one of the building's 3 elevators also happens to be right outside the unit, which was nice.

Room for Improvement

We contacted customer support day off because we had not heard from the greeter. The email said we would hear from them 1-2 days prior to arrival. Customer service said we already had all the info we needed, which we knew wasn’t true. The greeter contacted us 2 hours prior to check-in. Upon arrival, our off street parking spot was taken and the greeter said it would get resolved within a few hours, but we would have to pay for parking until then. One of our reasons for choosing this place was for the off street parking. There was no offer to pay for our street parking until it was resolved. I did not hear an update within a few hours so I had to reach out to the greeter again. Finally the car did move late at night. There were also no sheets for the pull out couch which we needed. I contacted the greeter in the evening and he said he’d try to get us some sheets. We woke up to him pounding at the door at 12:20 am with no communication prior that he’d be coming by. The place wasn’t the cleanest but ok. The dishwasher hadn’t been unloaded and the WiFi wasn’t even plugged in. After all of this was resolved it was an ok stay, just a rough start. Location was good - walking distance to just about anything which was great!

This is a renovated apartment within an older building. The unit shows some wear, even in its renovated state, but had everything I needed. One issue came up and was dealt with quickly by the management company.

Great Location!

Everything was as advertised in photos, however the check-in process isn't normal. I had to meet with someone to get the keys instead of getting keys in a lockbox. This is the first property where I had to meet with someone. Otherwise the location is perfect to everything that you need and want to do in caphill. Walking to Space Needle was about 20-25 minutes. Would stay here again.

Simple and Convenient

Great location on Capitol Hill. Small, minimalistic, but adequate. Getting a dedicated parking space was a definite plus. Easy access to the building with key fobs was nice. Very basic furniture; nothing cozy or particularly comfortable. A good place to stay for basic needs.

Great Location

The location was great for walking or catching an Uber anywhere. The only reason it did not receive a 5 star is the sofa bed, where my daughter had to sleep, was quite disgusting with hair and stains on the mattress. There was no "welcome" letter explaining the wifi password, how to work the TV or Roku, how the lights work, and information about the GREAT rooftop deck! Beautiful accomodation and kitchen however.

Nice condo

The condo was very nice and clean. Conveniently located. Our only complaint was that there was some painting being done outside of the door and in hallway while we were staying there. The painters were very loud early in the morning. They woke us up every morning early with their obscene language and music. We were also asked if we could prop the door open so they could paint the door. Frustrating and disruptive.
