Leela's loft is a great place to explore Seattle from! It is centrally located near Pioneer Square which is within an easy 10-minute walk to watch the Mariners and Seahawks play... and is surrounded by art galleries (and the SAM - Seattle Art Museum) and boutique shopping. It is also an easy stroll to Pike Place Market and upscale shopping,
The loft itself is beautiful inside (the photos are very accurate) and has great amenities like kitchen ware, towels, and bedding, etc. Although we didn't use the washer/dryer... having access to them is a huge plus should you be staying in Seattle for several days.
The loft itself however would not be ideal for individuals who require an elevator or cannot climb stairs. The building itself does not have elevator - and there are steep stairs leading to the bed in the loft area. This was not a concern for us... but may be a consideration for others.
The other consideration is the late-night noise mentioned by Leela and others. Being the loft is an older historic building and does not have good soundproofing - light sleepers should take note. Even with ear plugs - it can get very noisy when the recycling bins in the back alley (that the 2nd floor loft looks onto) are rummaged through and the recycling company picks up the glass and the other recyclables. There are episodes of glass breaking seemingly every night around 4 am. This may be an issue for some - and for others... not an issue. Large cities are often filled with many late-night noises downtown… and newer buildings with soundproofing mask the noise - historical buildings not so much.
Overall, we had a great time staying at Leela's loft. Although we didn't meet (as we self checked-in) - Leela was very accommodating and communications were excellent. Thank you for hosting us Leela!
