The grocery across the street is truly world class, a great selection of produce, excellent deli, bakery, wines, cheeses. There is a large drugstore above the supermarket. There are restaurants, stores and night spots on every block, all around us. This place is happening!

This is a charming building, built in 1910, well kept up with period woodwork and classic charm. There are several retail spaces at street level and two floors of apartments above them. The building is on the corner of East Pike Street and Harvard Ave. The Apartment is on the third floor on the Harvard Avenue Side of the building. It has a great view down to Harvard. Across the street is a 24 hour grocery store, great for shopping and also if you just want to people watch! East Pike Street is louder, with traffic and people on the street at all hours, Harvard has much less noise, making the apartment a great place for an extended vacation.

This is a wonderful location to explore the city! It’s just ten blocks to the center of Seattle’s downtown business area, an easy walk. From here Pike Street runs downhill toward the waterfront, through downtown and another 6 blocks to the Pike Place Market. We’re in the neighborhood know as Capitol Hill, with the handy grocery, lots of places to eat, shop and party.

We have a full-time, live-in manager, Johnny Sidorowicz, who takes care of making reservations and checking people in and out. Johnny lives in apartment 200 and if there's every anything you need while you're with us, he's always ready to help.

About Christine Heller

Mark Chambers and Oda Egeland own St. John's. We bought the building in 2005 and remodeled all the apartments, combining several to make two bedroom units and changing six into short-term rentals. I (Mark) have been a builder all my life and this was a very fun project. The building has character and that was saved and honored; at the same time new plumbing and new electrical systems were installed, bringing it up to modern standards. The plumbing, for example, has a loop system, so there is always hot water as soon as you turn on the faucet.

We're a couple in our 50's and the building is an investment for us, and a lot more. We live in the country but stay in our short terms when we come into town. St. John's is our home in the city! We've made the apartments more than just furnished rooms. We've tried to make everything in each apartment be super comfortable. We think we've done a good job so far and we're still working on it. He hope you'll come stay with us, and look forward to meeting you when you do!

-Mark Chambers

Christine Heller purchased this apartment in 2005
Why Christine Heller chose Seattle

We bought the building here because it was here, and we got lucky finding it. It was just what we wanted.

We wanted a mix of businesses from our building and we wanted to be involved with our tenants. We have short term tenants, people on vacation and people on business trips; plus 17 full time residents in the building; plus the retail businesses on the ground floor. We have a diverse mix of tenants and short term guests. It's a great business model and it works well because of our unique location. The street we're on, and the neighborhood, and the businesses around us, make this the perfect location to stay when you're in Seattle!

Great Place

What a great place! The apartment was cozy and clean with the most comfortable bed ever. It had everything we needed and the location was a perfect base for exploring Seattle - lots of good restaurants close by. We especially liked using chopsticks at Boom and Elliot Bay Book Store was a favorite place to hang out. Nights were a little rowdy on the QFC Grocery side of the apartment but we were able to block out most of the noise by closing the windows and using a fan. We had a great time there and would definitely stay there again.

We loved this place-both the apartment and Seattle. Staying here let us walk everywhere, it's so convenient and quite lovely here. Don't expect the shops in Capitol Hill to be open early though, other than QFC supermarket. Great park beside the community college.
Loved the Crab Pot and the rueban sandwich at Pike Market.
Thanks to Johnny who was lovely sorting out parking for us.
We'll be back!

We loved this place. It is a great location and easily walkable to Pike Place Market. The Honey Hole on the block has wonderful sandwiches. If we come back we will definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at the Paramount several times while visiting my daughter here in Seattle. This is so much nicer having a kitchen and room to roam around.
Johnny was great. Very welcoming and helpful. The place was also clean and had everything we needed.
We love the crumpet store on Pike and 1st and also Volunteer Park Cafe-the best food ever.
We had two good days of sunny weather.
Thanks for everything!

Excellent accommodation. Clean and comfortable. Thanks Johnny for letting us get in early - much appreciated.
Great location. We walked everywhere and saw most of the main sights of this beautiful city. Highlights: Lock tour, really worthwhile; Space Needle and Music exhibit. Bonus: Starbucks Modeo frappacino every day.

Thanks Johnny for accommodating our late night check in!
Our stay in Seattle was great. We saw a lot of Seattle stuff plus Mt. Rainier and LaConner/Anachortes.
We also walked and used light rail / bus / monorail except for out of town trips. Apt 300 was great-clean and a good location for base of operations. Capitol Hill Area is interesting to say the least.

We loved apt. #300 here and loved our first trip to Seattle.
The Honey Hole right next door is Fabulous;-the best garlic cheesebread in the world! We saw all the sights with the kids using the City Pass. And Molly Moon's funky-flavored ice creams! Wow. We walked everywhere except for taking the monorail out to the Space Needle. The Music Project museum is awesome. Thanks Mark and Oda, (the owners) we love your place!
