The apartment is located about a block from the historic Pioneer District of Seattle. It couldn't be in a more convenient location -- you can walk to downtown or the International District. The Link is nearby for transportation to the airport or other parts of Seattle. Outside is a lovely little park with a waterfall. The apartment itself is an open loft, clean and stylish. Kia is a fabulous host, exceptionally thoughtful and quick to respond to any question. She offers those small touches that really elevate the experience -- everything from a bottle of good wine in the kitchen to q-tips in the bathroom. The wifi worked perfectly. The building doesn't block much street noise but it wasn't disruptive to me personally -- but then I'm a New Yorker so I'm used to it. Overall I can't say enough that's wonderful about Kia and her loft. I would definitely stay there again on future trips. Thanks, Kia!
