Overall rating 5.0/10, based on 3 renter reviews Write a review
OK-ish
The Tuscany is a good value because of the amenities and the location is great if you are into city life. Nothing else in the area around 1300 included dishwasher and W/D. My studio is quite nice, but the management here is exceptionally poor. Emails and phone calls are almost never returned and often times you don't even have the option of leaving a voicemail.
And there is someone snooping around in the dumpster area everyday.
Parking, utilities, W/S/G, internet are not included.

meh
Carpet was new when I moved in. The place is clean and safe, it's not as loud as other parts of the hill, but it's a little outdated, even for a historic-ish building. I have a stripped-down unit (no granite, no in-unit washer/dryer) and the shared laundry room is terrible. still dishwasher works. Windows go up and down. Corridors never get too dirty... but they could be vacuumed a lot more regularly.

Meh…
It's clean and safe, but meh... and indoor hallways aren't always kept up :( $200 for parking is insane since it's tiny little valet spaces under an old hotel.
The location is nice though and very convenient to Seattle University while still being far enough from the bars that you can't hear them.

First Hill Reviews
- Close to everything--right between Capitol Hill and downtown (across the Madison Street bridge).
- Feels safe; a few blocks south, and things get a little dicier, but this is a solid, quiet neighborhood.
- Some (more upscale) grocery shopping very nearby--Stockbox (of Harborview Medical complex), etc.
Cons
- Not a totally "neighborhood" feel - Bars and shops aren't "just outside your door," for the most part. They're a medium-length walk away (e.g. to Capitol Hill). - Right next to I-5, though the noise pollution isn't that bad. - No wonderful, scenic places to walk your dogs
+ Lots of nightlife
+ Hot new restaurants and shops open frequently
+ Extremely walkable
+ Lot of public transportation options
+ Walking distance to Downtown, SLU
Cons:
- Noisy
- Weekends bring in non-residents in droves
- Problems with homeless (though this is mostly a Seattle problem)
- Crime increasing, especially on weekends
Close to Seattle U/bars/restaurants
Walk to everything you need Busy and vibrant Cons: Noisy, lots of sirens Can be unsafe Very little parking
