Well this is the second year in a row I stayed at Alex’s place, so that should tell you something! You are going to love this place! I challenge you to find a better Airbnb for this price in the Downtown Seattle area. It is literally a “stone’s throw” from Pike Place Market and the Waterfront. Also note that although this place has all the amenities you need, plus there is a Target store right up the street for your snacks and the personal items you may want. Alex’s place is clean and just the right size for a visit to Seattle. Although the building it is in is old and historic, the units are modern and up to date and has the proper physical security features of building of that size. The unit itself is quiet from noise for other tenants, but this is an urban location, so you may hear occasional street noise, but nothing overwhelming. Please note that the unit does not have air-conditioning as few apartments/condos/homes have that in the Pacific Northwest. Utilizing portable fans within the unit will cool things down and create a “white noise” effect to negate any potential external noise. Also, don’t forget to check out the roof-top deck of the building that has some cool views, and access to a “major street” through a secured gate. Finally, Alex is a great host, quick to respond to any questions or issues. I hope to stay there again on my next visit to Seattle and recommend this place for your visit to downtown Seattle!
