More than just prompt and thorough pre-trip communications, JK added some personalized information when I mentioned one of the goals of this trip.

Finding and accessing the unit was simple with the provided directions. The entry lobby of the building is lovely - a converted heritage building. The unit was compact, nicely presented, clean and ready to go. For an urban location, the street noise was minimal.

The neighborhood had everything I wanted, a bigger than average Starbucks adjacent to the front door, Belltown Pub, Local 360 and Bellini's all offered excellent meals and all within a few steps. The choice are plentiful up on 2nd as well.

A short walk to the market and other Seattle attractions.

Seattle has a problem with homeless people and the Belltown area is no exception. It's a cross section of many economic circumstances. While I never felt at risk or uncomfortable being alone, even at night - it's not an area I saw many children. Security at the building seemed to be taken very seriously.

Thanks Crys and JK - you'll be on my list when I return.
