I was so pleased with the location, it's walking distance to so many good restaurants, busses, the art museum, and the 1 line from the airport. It made not having a car on this trip so easy. There is some downtown city noise but I expected that and it didn't bother us. The kitchen is equipped enough for some simple cooking and between Target, Pike Place, and PCC Market they have everything we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
