Clean space, responsive and attentive host. Location super convenient: close to downtown, area attractions, light rail, shopping, waterfront, etc. However, there are many homeless in this specific are. The alleys between 4th and 1st Ave on the way to The Pike Place Market down Pike Street reek of urine. Saw people doing drugs around the building. At the same time, never felt unsafe (access to the building is secure), just uncomfortable. The windows of the apartment overlook a working office. The closet and the bathroom are in the line of sight of people sitting at their desks; keep curtains closed. The city must have been collecting garbage in the alley below. Truck banging a dumpster woke me up every morning as early as 4.30 am. TV and the Internet was painfully slow and frustrating. All things considered, this was probably the worst part. This is not the place for the views. But if you are on the move most of the time like we were, the location is great.
