Gayle’s place is great! We had two teenagers and they crashed in the living room, while mother-in-law had her own room and my wife and I were in the second bedroom. Worked out great. Main benefit of this place is location. There are several nice restaurants within a few blocks. Some can’t allow minors because of their liquor licenses but there are enough options, it wasn’t to hard to choose another option. Catching a bus to Seahawks/Sounders/Mariners stadiums was pretty easy. We choose to walk back and stopped at a public park for some ping pong and giant-sized Jenga. Walk to Space Needle/Chihuly/Pop Museum wasn’t bad either, stopped for breakfast mid-route at 5 Point Cafe. (interesting dive with crazy big portions). And of course as highlighted the Pike Place Market is just a few blocks away too. We cruised the NCL Pearl to Alaska and the NCL port, literally is only about a 10 minute walk away. We did it with our luggage and made it fine, even with light drizzle, but most of that walk was up hill, so Uber might have been a better choice. I don’t think you could find a better location for downtown if these are the things you wish to see. Kitchen area was super nice and bathroom/shower area are really good, but not as nice or updated as the kitchen. Gayle clearly has been doing this a while, listens to her guests and makes adjustments along the way. Little things like earplugs by the bed (which we didn’t need because we closed the windows and ran the A/C) and restaurant menus with some of her recommendations and a guest book are nice to see. Overall, you can tell Gayle genuinely cares and wants to make your stay the best she can. If you have ever stayed somewhere that they don’t care, you know how valuable that can be. If you are on the fence on this one, go ahead and book it, you’ll be thankful.
