Casa Picasso in North Capitol Hill- Blue Period
Embrace the spirit of Spain`s iconic Pablo Picasso in this fully renovated 1900s Victorian duplex by Groovy Stays, inspired by Picasso’s Blue Period. Nestled in Seattle’s vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood, stroll to top bars, restaurants, and parks. Enjoy convenient access to light rail for city exploration. A short drive to downtown, Lake Union, and the U District. Work comfortably with a dedicated workspace, stay connected with fast WIFI. We`re pet-friendly! Maximum weight limit: 50 lbs. Up to 2 dogs allowed. $100 per pet.
Casa Picasso is a duplex, with The Blue Period (this listing) featuring 1 bed/1 bath on the 2nd level. The Rose Period is a separate 2 bed/1 bath unit on the downstairs level (can be booked separately). Both units are fully renovated with modern amenities, including heated bathroom floors, backlit LED mirrors, new appliances, and a private garden with a fire pit. Double ceilings in between to block noise. Enjoy TV, WiFi, and a fully stocked kitchen with Keurig, plates, bowls, cookware, and silverware.
The backyard and laundry room are shared between both units.`
Each unit has a separate entrance. Access to this unit is through the back of the house, and it has its own set of stairs.
Situated just east of downtown Seattle & described as the LGBTQ hub of the city, Capitol Hill boasts both metropolitan buzz and scenic, tree-lined streets. The restaurants, like the neighborhood itself, are eclectic, welcoming & global. Capitol Hill shops are the perfect place to buy locally-made crafts, art, jewelry, or that unique gift for a loved one that you just can`t find anywhere else. Local Volunteer Park provides a solid respite from the bustle of the city - stroll along the paths of one of Seattle`s most well-known parks, meander through the Seattle Asian Art Museum, or bask in the sight and floral aroma of the Volunteer Park Conservatory.

Charming retreat
This place is designed with tranquility in mind. The bed was very comfortable (and I am very fussy about pillows & linens) Kitchen and bathroom were well equipped. I will never pay for a hotel in Seattle again!

Beautiful apartment! A few issues.
Casa Picasso is lovingly and beautifully designed with a gorgeous, expansive living space and a cozy bedroom. The kitchen meant that we didn't have to spend so much on restaurants and we were so happy that our dog could come with us. (She fell in love with the thick carpet in the living room.)
That said, the marketing is inaccurate - the listing says that it has two beds. It doesn't. It has one bedroom and a couch in the living room that does not convert to a bed. Our daughter was fine on the couch, although it made her stay less enjoyable. It would not have worked if we had been traveling with one of our elderly parents.
Also, the keypad on the door didn't work. Luckily there was a key in the lockbox that we could use. On the last morning, at about 4am, its alarm woke us - dead batteries maybe?
Finally, while we did appreciate that our dog was welcome, and that anyone who loves their pups probably tolerates a bit more dirt on the floor than anti-pet folks, which is great, the floor was *very* dirty. We had to wear socks INSIDE the apartment because after just a few minutes walking around the bottoms of our bare feet were filthy. I asked for a floor mop and found a dirty pad on the end of it, which would not have made much of a difference. We would have LOVED a cleaner floor and would have been happy to leave it clean again with a fresh mop pad when we left.
