Just outside busy downtown yet close to the space needle and numerous restaurants, we found the location to be absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for better. Like a few others noted, it's a bit noisy due to residential traffic/life, but during reasonable hours. The rooftop was perfect for a late night toddy and provides a wonderful view of the harbour. Sid accommodated our extreme early arrival which we were most grateful. Overall the rental unit is perfect for a get away for two. My recommendation to other renters is to bring coffee and bath soap/shampoo etc (little provided). It's not a complaint and I certainly do not expect those items, but those were the few items we had to pick up that a hotel would provide. I highly recommend the rental and thank Sid for being such a wonderful host.
