We stayed for only 2 nights and the studio was ideal for our visit and only 3 minutes from the Light Rail system. The location is great for getting to the Ferries too, and making the most of Chinatown. The shared facilities were clean and always available. We rarely saw other people who were staying or the artists in the building. We did meet Jaq though, who was very welcoming and we enjoyed hearing about her artwork. Our only concern, and it may have been tiredness after a long flight, the steps up to the mezzanine bed were shallow and in bare feet a little challenging. That said, it wasn't a problem and we enjoyed our first visit to Seattle. Dirk & Jaq responded to our requests promptly and helpfully.
