Location is great. We walked to Pike place several times and convenient to the Light Rail (train to/from airport) and other towns. There is a park which you can see from the window where locals play games and music (when the weather is nice). The only downside was that it is on-street parking which can be difficult after a long day trip. There is really no need to rent a car unless you are going on long trips or visiting different islands. This is a secured apartment complex with an elevator. He provides all the essentials that you would need including laundry detergent. There was even coffee and spices for cooking. I would recommend staying here.
