This place is in an excellent location. You are a 10 minute walk to the Space Needle, Chihuly gardens, Pop Museum in one direction. If you go the other direction you are a 10 min walk to Pike's Market, the Great Wheel, and Aquarium. The link rail is very easy to get to as well and will take to the University and Safeco Field. Lots of restuarants to choose from nearby, and plenty of coffee shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is a city, so there is noise of traffic and construction once 8AM hits, but we were fine with that. Only downside, you are above the garage gate and hear it every time it goes up or down, but again, its a city and noise was to be expected for us.
