This place is a great value for the price! There were lots of restaurants, pubs, and shops within easy walking distance. Our room was beautiful and well-appointed in a lovely, older building with a very interesting history. We had plenty of space for the two of us. We weren't sure if a double bed would work for us as we have a Cal King at home, but it worked just fine and was very comfortable! We really enjoyed the balcony at the back of the building and used it frequently during our stay. This was in close proximity to the 5 freeway and downtown. We didn't have to get on the freeway to drive downtown and it only took about 15 minutes to get to Pike Place Market with early morning traffic. Our host, Angielena, responded quickly to all of our inquiries. We did not get to meet her upon arrival because we arrived too late. However, a long-term resident of the building, Rick, met us at the front door and showed us the ropes. He was very informative and lived just down the hall from us. We met two other longer-term residents who were very nice and great at offering ideas for visits during our stay. We felt fairly comfortable, considering we live in a small town and were visiting a bigger city. The surrounding streets seemed safe during the day and evening. If you don't mind sharing space (bathroom and kitchen) with others, you will love this artsy spot!
