We stayed at Melody's for a night and felt the apartment was very central with a lot of food places within walking distance. Pike Market was also just a short 10 minute walk from the apartment. While the apartment is a 1 BR and would be very comfortable for a couple or 2 people we were 3 and it was good for one night for all of us. The amenities were all good and usable and the apartment entrance was close to the lift. We were lucky to get paid/cheap parking right in front of the building so staying over the weekend is great idea if you are driving. Overall we had a good experience staying at Melody's place.
