Chia-Yu's place is great! A very quick walk to the space needle (with a fantastic view of it as well from both the balcony and the rooftop!) and a 10-15 minute walk from Pike Place Market. Even the 30-ish minute walk to the Capital Hill area wasn't bad. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe staying at this location. There is a bit of a homeless population in the area but I found them to be harmless. Having a secure place to park was awesome but people aren't kidding when they say the garage is tiny- make sure you have a small car! It was a little confusing getting into the garage the first time, but once you figure it out, it's easy! Plenty of great restaurants in the area as well. Top Pot Doughnuts is really close and I loved Anchorhead Coffee. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seattle!
