We had a wonderful time visiting Seattle and staying at Shirley's place. The view was simply amazing as others have written about. We loved looking out at the Great Wheel and water everyday of our stay! The location cannot be beat for accessing Pike's Market and the waterfront. Steps from the apartment is a public parking garage with an elevator that takes you directly to the Market. Across the street from Pike's Market is a Target which was an unexpected bonus for picking up assorted items. Apartment was also a reasonable mile walk to the Space Needle and Seattle Center.
Shirley was very responsive and replied almost immediately every time I had a question. She even went out and got an iron before our arrival after I initially inquired about it.
We'd definitely stay at Shirley's again the next time we visit Seattle!
