The location was perfect! My husband and I were visiting Seattle for a wedding and this was a perfect home base. We could easily walk to everything in Fremont and rented bikes to head into Ballard. As described, it is on a busy street so it was noisy - but Greg provided ear plugs. So if you're not a light sleeper its fine. It was cozy but we didnt spend a lot of time there since we had a non-rainy weekend to explore the city. Great value.
