The location is close to many tourist destinations. We walked to Starbucks Reserve, Pike Place Market, food and shopping. There are plenty of public transportation options if you’re not a good walker. Seattle has a Monorail, buses and a subway. There were no security issues during our stay. Check-in was simple, Vi sends photos of the front/back of building and specifics on getting in. Sound travels pretty well in the building, you can definitely hear the upstairs neighbor however he/she got quiet by 10:30ish. I would book this place again.
