About The Owner

We are Madison and Marc the owners and operators of The Maple. After buying this beautiful building together in 2005 we spend a number of year remodeling each of the units as we lived in them. Utilizing Marc's skills as a General Contractor and Finish Carpenter we greatly enjoyed updating each unit and creating someplace we loved to live. We adored living at The Maple and on Capitol Hill and know you will too!

The Owner purchased this apartment in 2005
Why The Owner chose Seattle

Capitol Hill has more to offer than any other district in Seattle. Its diversity is unmatched and it's proximity to everything 'Seattle' is unbeatable. This district is both urban and suburban with restaurants, shops, clubs and pubs fit for any mood just around the corner from a quiet neighborhood of prewar mansions, classic brick buildings and manicured parks perfect for a quiet stroll. We have both lived all over the greater Seattle area and when it was time to buy our first place ONLY Capitol Hill would do. It is simply the best in-city neighborhood Seattle has to offer.

What makes this apartment unique

In our neighborhood guide you will find a map of Capitol Hill, bus and taxi information as well as a list of some of our favorite restaurants, coffee houses, parks and museums. After living on Capitol Hill for 8 years we are happy to share our recommendations with you in the hopes of making the most of your time here in this beautiful city.

This was our third stay at one of Madison and Marc's listings. The location can't be beat and the accommodations are top notch. We consider the Maple our home away from home when in Seattle. Very comfortable and convenient Also very well maintained, clean and organized. We love the Maple.

I can't say enough good things about the Maple! Everthing about The Maple is perfect: the central location, the owners, the layout of the apartment, the cleaniless, the price, the check in and check out procedures and the quietness. We had a great time and are telling all our friends to stay at The Maple while in Seattle.

There are two caveats:

1. It's a remodeled, older, small (5) unit apartment. There is no elevator. For my husband and I this was no problem; we were on the top floor. Even the ground level units have a few stairs leading up to them. It would take severe physical limitations not to be able to stay on a ground level unit. But I wanted that stated for folks with disabilities.

2. The driveway leading to the parking lot is narrow. This wasn't a problem for us, as we both have small cars. Some fairly large vehicles were parked in back. If you have a large vehicle, you may want to ask the owners about the width of the driveway before reserving.

Otherwise, enjoy! Mark and Madison were a pleasure. The units are beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. The remodel work is first rate. The bed was extremely comfortable. My husband (who is a light sleeper) and I slept like babies - our mattress at home is a memory foam, so we're used to a great bed. It's minutes by car from all downtown attractions. It's easy to get to attractions without taking the freeway. The Maple is near a major bus route, if you don't want to drive. I loved Capitol Hill and the eateries.

An added bonus is that the apartments are setup so that two couples can share space and still have privacy. There's: a bedroom in the back, a hall, a study off the hall, a bathroom off the hall and a door on either end of the hall (the doors create privacy for both the bedroom in back and the common areas in the front). The per person price with 4 people staying is the best deal you'll get in Seattle. Even with just my husband and I (we were on our honeymoon) the price was still cheaper than most hotels and the accomodations were way better.

The Maple is simply AWESOME!

The Maple is an older brick building with 5 completely redone apartments, pleasantly furnished and decorated and immaculately clean. Neighborhood is nice, quiet at night, lots of green around. Loved the free internet service and the European-style washer and dryer. Bed is super comfy, lots of hangers in the closet, kitchen came equipped with paper towels, coffee, sugar, and some staple foods. All of our arrangements and communication were by phone and the internet and owners always responded immediately. Both are friendly and helpful. Building is near two supermarkets, bus lines. If you drive, note that driveway is narrow and next to building. Floors squeak but walls soundproof so stay on second floor if you want no one above you, on first floor if you don't want stairs (except for several from the street level to the first floor). Lots of rules for use which means that the owners are determined to give you a clean and restful experience, but if you are a partier or slob, go elsewhere. We really enjoyed our week's stay, would strongly recommend The Maple, and will stay again when next in Seattle. Madison and Marc really know what's important in running vacation apartments!

The Maple apartments are spacious, cozy and very clean. The location is perfect, a short walk to all the best restaurants, coffee shops, bars and shopping... that Capitol Hill has to offer. Parking is available if you do have a car, which is a major major perk! Parking on Capitol Hill can be a real pain. I used to live in Seattle and now live in New York, so this was the perfect way to feel as if for a hot second... I live back on the hill and have my very own apartment, a great alternative to staying in a busy/fussy hotel downtown. The Maple will be my number one choice of places to stay when visiting Seattle. All around perfect!!!

I was in Seattle for a wedding recently and stayed at The Maple. The apartment made me feel like I was at home, only better. I currently live in a one bedroom apt. and this place is HUGE! I hate to admit it, but I slept better at the Maple than I do at home. Super cozy beds and surprisingly quiet for being so close to downtown. I absolutely loved the location, as I didn't have a vehicle while I was in town. You can tell that the people who run the building really take pride in it. I will definitely be staying here again and would recommend it to all!

Wonderful Weekend, Great Place!

We had a great Labor Day weekend at The Maple! We parked the car and didn't need it for the whole weekend. The apartment was the perfect size with a super comfortable couch and bed. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in keeping it clean and well stocked. We really appreciated the fans in the bedroom and living room which kept the apt cool nice and cool even on the warmest day of the summer...FYI, Seattle is as mild as it claims - the high was only 85 and then a perfect 65 at night :) We will definitely return!

This was an adorable condo - great charm (crystal doorknobs, arched doorways), wood floors, lots of natural light. It was in a fantastic location that was the perfect jumping-off point for all of our Seattle adventures. Obviously clean and well-maintained. We had a "full-size" rental and were able to navigate the driveway (tip: flip in your side mirrors).

My word of caution: it may not be the best choice for families with young children, or make sure you get the top floor. We have a toddler that was often woken up by the creaky old floors and doors above. We adults also had trouble sleeping here - with no A/C, the window had to be open all night and the street noise, neighbors/other guests coming and going made for restless nights.

This place is a gem! In town for sight-seeing, this was the perfect location. The apartment is very comfortable and welcoming- easy to make yourself at home.Loved the little room with the desk for our computer use. Everything exceeded expectations. It is clearly evident that the hosts take pride in their property. Full of natural light, it is a delightful home to wake up to and so very appreciated to come back to after a busy day.Just go slowly down the driveway and you are fine! Having free access to a washer and dryer was fantastic. We hope to return.

We have stayed at The Maple three times when visiting our kids in Seattle. Not only is it a great value, it has great location. Light rail from the airport is $2.50, plus short taxi ride from downtown. Also, there's off-street parking if you have a car. The condo decor is lovely and the owner is exceeding helpful. We highly recommend The Maple and hope to stay at there the next time we are in Seattle.
