Great place to be if you want to walk to all your destinations. Space needle is about an 11min walk and Pikes is about 13min. Manard was an amazing host by letting us check in earlier and they respond quickly through the app too. The place is small and meets all your needs. As for noise of traffic, we didn't have much of a problem with it since it didn't seem so loud during our stay. We also felt secured at this airbnb since there are two codes (one to get in the lobby and one for your studio). Overall, great place to be for all tourist attractions.
