Marissa was an excellent host, and I had a great stay at her condo. She was very responsive and accommodating, adding room-darkening curtains so that the condo would be dark despite being in the city. The condo was nicely decorated and featured a well stocked kitchen and a washer/dryer in the unit. Although the condo is a studio, the half-walls provide a sense of separation between the bedroom and living areas. The pool is right down the hall, and was very lightly used during the early morning hours when I went swimming.
The condo is in a great location, near lots of restaurants and bars. There was some noise from people walking around Belltown on weekend nights, but it was pretty minor. On week nights it was surprisingly quiet given its urban location. I like to walk, and was able to easily get to the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Olympic Sculpture Garden on foot. I also rented a Jump Bike and rode the Elliot Bay Trail to Ballard to check out the locks, go rock climbing at Stone Gardens, and enjoy the Ballard Farmers Market. I visited for a total of 2 weeks for a business trip, and had a great time. If the condo was available for my next trip, I would have definitely booked it.
