(Translated by Google) Excellent place to live (Original) Exelente lugar para vivir

I've lived here for over 5 years and I love it. The location is excellent -- close enough to restaurants and coffee shops without being right in heart of Capitol Hill, so you're not disturbed by drunk people at 2am. You get a great view of the space needle and mountains if you're on the west facing side of the building. Maintenance requests aren't super fast, but they're usually handled within a week or two. I've loved living here and really have no major complaints. It's right on a busy street, so street noise would be my biggest complaint. I've never heard my neighbors in the 5 years I've lived here. I'd liver here forever if I wasn't leaving Seattle. I'd be over the moon if I found an apartment this good in the next city I move to!I really don't understand the extremely negative reviews, so I took a closer look. - One person's main complaints were to do with move-out charges, which I can't say anything about since I still live here. - Another complained about a garage break-in. In the past 5 years that has happened once. It sucks, but we do live in Capitol Hill and it's easy for a person on foot to simply follow a car into the gated garage before the gate closes. I don't see how this can be fixed other than by having a 24/7 security guard in the garage. Every apartment complex in Capitol Hill has the same problem.- Another complained about people knocking on their street-access door repeatedly. I don't live on the ground floor and would highly recommend you not to live on the ground floor in any major city with significant foot traffic.- Then there are 2 super negative complaints, but you can see from the email screenshot that they were a couple living in the same apartment. It seems like they had a bad experience. These reviews were also from 2015, and several property managers have come and gone since then, so the person they complained about probably isn't still around.

Great location, very clean and pretty much new and well maintained building, helpful staff and quick maintenance service. I was moving from a difference state and was looking for apartments. I came across The Weatherford and the reviews looked to good to be true. I did my research, chatted with the property manager and went ahead with it. I absolutely do not regret my decision.

My experience (read before renting there!): * Poor isolation for noise and temperature in unit. * Forced air heating is extremely uncomfortable and expensive * Appliances are ultra low quality (dishwasher broke twice in 6 months). * Pipes burst during winter causing water leaking from the ceiling. * Premises do not feel safe * Do not expect to get your deposit back

Lived here for 3 years due to convenience to the link. Over the course of 3 years dish washer had to be fixed multiple times, and the whole stove had to be replaced at one point. In no way is the tech/appliances up to speed for a luxury apartment. Also do not expect to get any money back from your deposit after you move out. Any wear and tear from just living in the apartment will be charged to your expense. Any paint chips what not will be charged to you. All apartment maintenance should repaint the apartment prior to any party moving in but what they could easily fix they would charge you several hundreds. Also the vent from the kitchen barely works and they would charge you several hundred for deep cleaning. It is also difficult to keep the cabinets clean due to bad vent in the kitchen. We have already payed to have the apartment professionally cleaned at a cost of $300 but the apartment management charged us an additional $286 to have additional cleaning and "painting cabinets and trim." What ridiculous way to suck the former tenants dry.
