If you are ready to hit the Seattle ground running and need access to all the popular tourist spots and groovy little cafes and dives, this is the place for you! You a literally a stone's throw from the Space Needle (which you can take in from the roof top - unfortunately something we forgot about until our last day there but it was awesome to go up and see the 12th Man flag raised that morning) and you get a great view from the cute little reading nook facing Vine Street.
As far as check in, it was super smooth. I've had some really rough experiences in the past with checking in to places (where the hosts were incredibly difficult to get a hold of) but this was a breeze. Justin & Vicky stayed in touch from that morning on and were easily available that day of check-in. They had good recommendations for Bag BnB (the one on 5th - Zik's Seattle Smoke Shop was the one we used) and other great spots to hit up while visiting.
The spot itself is just right for a short visit. Everything is laid out with detailed, very clear instructions which will significantly reduce the need to get a hold of them if you happen to check in at an odd hour. It was perfectly clean (we actually met the sweet lady that cleans for them as she was just finishing up when we got there), organized, and very quiet all things considered. The gym facilities are a little small but get the job done when you just need to sweat out all the delicious craft beer Washington has to offer. You can expect that, from the street, you'll hear the odd siren, people yelling, and other sounds but it was never unreasonable. You are within easy walking distance to the Seattle Center and the Monorail (also including the Space Needle, Chihuly Garden & Glass and MoPOP). The 5 Point Cafe is a block away and is open 24 hours in case you get back late and need a bite to eat. It was awesome and we highly recommend it!
Overall, our stay was great and we highly recommend it. We hope to visit there again soon and will definitely make this our home-away-from-home.
