My fiance and I stayed at Salon Rue de Cerise for part of a weekend and could not have been happier. It was everything we expected from the listing and more.
Location - Because we did not have a lot of time in the city, location was very important to us. We were able to hit several sites within an 8 minute walk. We found this part of Seattle was really easy to get around.
Safety/Privacy - The room felt extremely safe. There is a secure door with a code to enter the building and a second secure door with a code needed to enter the room. There is a homeless presence in the neighborhood, but it felt consistent with the rest of Seattle and we had no issues. The big windows provided tons of natural light, but the location in the building really allowed the room to feel private. Being on the second floor also helped the room feel very safe.
Cleanliness - The room (and building/entry way) were extremely clean and cared for.
Check-in/Check-out/Host - Before check in, we were given all of the information that we needed in a very clear way. At one point we had to reach out to Jane with a question specific to our travel and she responded immediately.
We are extremely happy with our experience, and if we travel to Seattle again we will be staying at Salon Rue de Cerise.
