Sarah's place is a very good location for restaurants, pubs and bars. The Market is nearby so you can get lots of great food to cook or heat at the apartment. The Sculpture Park is about a 15 minute walk and well worth the time. The Aquarium is about the same distance. The Seattle Art Museum is a bit of a walk, but there is lots to see on the way. Or use public trans, Lyft or taxis.
There is construction nearby, there is construction everywhere in Seattle. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
The residents, and staff we met in the halls were very friendly, and cheerful. The garden will be beautiful come spring, the gym is well equipped, the pool is small but looked well cared for.
