So enjoyed my stay and was very walkable from this home base. Great location and gorgeous views. The balcony is a lovely, quiet spot to enjoy cooler air and waterfront views. I tended to start or end my day there during my stay. The pier is a couple blocks in one direction (think: Seattle Aquarium, Argosy Cruises, Pike Market). The Seattle Art Museum and Benroya Hall/Seattle Symphony were nearby (in the other direction). Great food and coffee was a short walk away. Some local favorites I enjoyed included clam chowder from Ivar's Oyster Bar and coffee and wonderful breakfast items from Fonté. Harbor Steps was a few steps from the building...another cool place to hang out, great photo opps. Also appreciated the full kitchen and dishwasher for times I felt like eating in. Also was great having a washer/dryer in the unit since my stay was over a long weekend, close to the end of a one-week trip that took me all over the state. Debra was a very responsive, organized and accommodating host...great to work with. The check-in instructions are a bit long and detailed, but actual check-in process was smooth and easy. The front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. What a treat to stay here.
