I rented this apartment for a convention I was going to. It was within walking distance to Pike Place Market, the Washington State Convention Center (soon to be Seattle Convention Center), and the International District. There was easy access to transit and attended parking on the next street over. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who can'tgo up and down stairs, because there are a lot of them. It was very convenient having a kitchen stocked with dishes and a washer and dryer in the apartment. I did need to buy a can opener, though. The host was very nice and accommodating. It was very easy to check in and out.
