The bus line near the apartment is the 131, and it will take you from the apartment, through the industrial area, and drop you right at Pike Place. it's a convenient line, and takes you past Katsu Burger, which I recommend to anyone, et the nori fries with curry mayo and the green tea milkshake! The apartment had a great sink, and has most everything you need to do a little cooking. I highly recommend this place if you are staying in Seattle!
