Melody's place is in a perfect location! Restaurants and markets were close by in the neighborhood and places to visit such as the Space Needle or the ferries were just a 10 minute walk. It was snowy when we were there so we didn't spend time up on the deck but it gave a pretty view of the courtyard below and the hot tub was great. Only slight drawbacks to the condo for some are that you can hear the neighbor's water running and if someone is using the sleeper sofa, they have to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. Overall, Melody's place is great and I would stay there again!
