Very nice condo right in the heart of everything. We felt very safe coming and going from the building due to the front desk staff being aware we were short term guests and opening the door as soon as they saw we were walking towards it. Very friendly staff also. The person greeting us to let us in the condo and hand us keys was very prompt and had some great advice for our stay.
Being right in the heart of everything also comes with a price, and I’m not referring to the cost of the unit. Everything in Seattle seems to be high priced. The price I’m referring to is the number of homeless in the immediate area. There is a severe homeless problem in Seattle and this area seems to attract an abundance of them. We saw everything from going to the bathroom on the street to drug deals going down. I never felt threatened but it is a true learning experience for the young ones.
Great places to eat in the immediate area from Piroshky Piroshky to The Pink Door. Pike Place Market is a stones throw away also.
It was nice to have our own parking spot and it is a small spot but I had no trouble backing a 4Runner into it. Condo is five steps off the elevator and the elevator goes right down to the parking level. Condo came with almost everything you needed but I felt it could have been a little bit cleaner for the $195 cleaning fee you pay.
