  Celine O from Campbell River, BC recommends this vacation rental

  This was a real find! Close to downtown and easily accessible from the I5. A bit noisy at night as it's beside the Highway, but nothing horrendous. The administration should be aware that when you come from outside U.S. it is not so easy to find a phone to tell them you've arrived... it would be easier to just set a time to meet. Pay phones are not as available as they used to be... ;-)
  All in all a great stay.

  • Manager Responded on 4/15/2013

    Thank you for mentioning your issue with the phone. We try to make arrangements to check in our guests prior to your arrival, but depending on your travel plans that is not always the case. We are glad that overall you had a great stay!

  Erica T from Elkridge, Maryland recommends this vacation rental

  We can not be happier with our stay at the Elektra. The condo was spacious and very homey. It was truly a home away from home. I was there for a conference, and it was only 2 minutes from the convention center and everything downtown has to offer. Sea to Sky was so professional from the beginning to end. I love dealing with them. They answered to all my questions and requests immediately and the place was stocked with everything we need. Love Love my vacation. My family had a great time and we hope to be able to return soon.

  Building a little shabby but the apartment was clean and comfortable. Ideally placed for city exploration.

  • Manager Responded on 1/8/2013

    Hello David! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a review of your stay at the Elektra! You're right; since the building was built in 1949 it is one of the more eclectic flats in downtown Seattle. For your next trip, if you are interested in a newer building you should check out some of our beautiful apartments at the Harbor Steps! Please let us know when you plan your next trip so we can make sure you receive your 5% return guest discount.

  LAUREN G from EUGENE, OR recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was a great choice for us! The staff was great - meeting us to get in the condo and they brought us extra towels on a Saturday! The building is older so the elevators are slow and the freight elevator was under construction. We had a 4 am fire alarm our first night. The rest of our stay was awesome! Very clean and we loved having a kitchen to cook in for breakfast.

  • Manager Responded on 11/20/2012

    Hello Lauren! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with a review. Wow! A 4 alarm fire drill on your first night. Thank goodness it didn't happen first thing in the morning! Despite the fire alarm, I'm glad you were able to enjoy your stay at the Elektra. Please keep in mind that all of our return guests receive a 5% discount. Let us know when you plan to return. We would love to have you back!

  Paul B from Annerley, Queensland recommends this vacation rental

  We came to Seattle in autumn and chose the apartment at Elektra from the Internet web site: it proved to be a great choice. The apartment was clean with lots of hot water, a handy kitchen and comfortable beds. Just at the top of Pike St, Elektra was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. A word of caution: the apartment is not new, the lift was slow, there is no laundry in the unit, the bathroom rather old fashioned and the storage space was limited. Our first reaction was a little reserved but the place certainly grew on us as the week went on and the blessings of its wonderful location was a source of constant delight. We'd certainly come back.

  • Manager Responded on 10/15/2012

  a guest from Fairfax, VA recommends this vacation rental

  Elektra is an apartment building a couple of blocks from the Convention Center. The apartment was very comfortable and well furnished. The location is great, walking distance to downtown. The management company was very helpful, meeting us the evening we arrived to show us the apartment and helping with parking arrangements. I would definitely recommend the apartment and would stay there again.

  Grace S from Port Moody, BC recommends this vacation rental

  Great location near the Convention Center; an easy short walk. Premises very clean and bright with everything one needed provided. The first night the apt was warm and the heater made loud clicking noises; turning the red button on the valve to the middle improved this and we were able to open the windows which helped as well. Also very pleased that it was non-smoking and smelled fresh and clean in the hallway and apartment.

  Our apartment was set up absolutely perfectly for our 4-day stay. All the amenities of a hotel but in an apartment setting. We walked downtown and went shopping, good coffee up the street, great location directly off I-5. The building was fantastic, and the parking space in the garage is well worth the additional cost.

  a guest from Centerville, OH recommends this vacation rental

  As a student on clinical rotations from Ohio, I was looking for a place to stay near Swedish Medical Center First Hill and this was the place! It has very convenient access to the highways, downtown, Pike Place Market, etc. The light rail was extremely convenient when friends came to visit. When I arrived one of the lights had burned out and the toaster was broken, but Sea To Sky sent someone right away with a new toaster and to replace the light bulb. Highly recommend this location!!

  Went down to Seattle for PAX 2011 this was a perfect location. Everyday I went onto the roof deck to check out the lines that were forming to see when it was safe to head down to the convention center. The room was really nice and being on the 14th floor
  coulden't hear any street traffic. Had a great time and will see if this is avaliable next year.

  This condo was beautiful and clean and located in a perfect location. It is literally right next door to the Washington Convention Center where I was attending a conference. It is also a short and pleasant walk down to Pike's Market. The only hard thing for me to get used to, was the freeway noise when I had the windows open. However, overall it was great and I would definitely rent here again if I was coming back to Seattle.

  Generally everything was great. The property is a little tired but overall fine. One poor thing though was the noise at 4am when the heating kicks in - it was like someone clanging pipes next to your ear for about 20 minutes in the middle of the night. Despite that we would definitely stay again purely based on location.

  I recently stayed here with my husband and another couple. It is a small place but a perfect home base for exploring Seattle. For $2.50 I took the train from the airport to the Westlake station which is about 6 blocks from the property. It was about 8 blocks from Pike Place Market, right by the convention center, and about a mile or so to the Space Needle. Taxis are readily available about a block away. I would stay here again.

  The staff at Sea to Sky was very helpful and personally checked us in. The apartment couldn't have been more comfortable and the fabulous location was an added bonus. We had family in town supporting a family member going through cancer surgery at Virginia Mason so being close to the hospitals and having a comfortable home to stay in were critical to their comfort and support in an otherwise difficult family time.

  Jan C from Calgary, AB recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of 4 enjoyed our 3 day stay in Seattle. Our accommodation at the Electra were adequate, although the kitchen/dining/living room area was very small for us. The bathroom was also very small. We were aware that this is a very old building and that rooms are small and since we were only there a short time, we didn't mind. The only problem was that one night at about 3 when we were sleeping I heard a crash and discovered that a framed picutre had fallen off the wall in the hallway leaving glass shards everywhere on the hardwood floor. The location for shopping and sightseeing in the inner city was perfect. It was within walking distance of the large department stores and Pike Market, although was uphill on the way back. We had a rented car and parking was convenient in a covered, secure garage. We took the public transit a couple of times (i.e. to the Science center) and it was also convenient. One of the highlights of the trip was a tour on the 'ducks' It was a fun way to get a tour of the city. We found it diffuclt to find family dining in the area with our youg girls, therefore I would mostly recommend the location for adults only or families with older children and .

  We were very pleased with the location and were able to have guests for the evening, etc. One problem we encountered was finding a place to park when family came to pick us up or to visit. The convince of the kitchen with supplies, a phone for local use, etc. was great. Taking out the trash was the only negative - that was not a great experience, but there were no major problems. Oh, a larger bath, or two bathrooms, would have been nice for the four of us but none were available at the time.
