It's in a nice area. If you do not have a car, be prepared to walk up a lot of very steep hills. Everything you'll want to go to is up a hill. The area feels safe. The studio is fine. It's a good value for staying in Seattle. A house is being built right next to it so if you're looking for quiet during the day, this is not for you. They don't have you take out the trash, strip the bed, or anything like that, which I appreciated. Overall, fine stay.
