This place is under rated. Not being from Seattle I knew nothing of Queen Anne Hill. It is walking distance to Seattle Center, two blocks from the bus system that can take you anywhere, and 4 blocks from a full service grocery store. There are also a few great restaurants 3-4 blocks away. The neighborhood is great fun to explore. You can walk to Union Lake with a handy pedestrian bridge across busy Aurora. We walked to Kerry Park for some great pictures. Granted it is a hill and there are many steep inclines and stairs for this adventuring but it's all there if you are up to trekking. The grocery, restaurants, and Space Needle are downhill to get to and the bus can bring you back. This condo has zero curb appeal but the inside does not disappoint. The views are spectacular - the glowing Space Needle takes center stage in the comfortable living room. You can see Union Lake from the patio. We stayed 8 days and felt like locals when we left. There is a parking spot for you but we did just fine without a car. Great home base for exploring all that Seattle has to offer. Thanks, Frank!
