Location: Right smack dab in the center of downtown, a 30 second walk to Pike’s Marketplace with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Unfortunately the area gets a little sketchy after 8-9pm, like many city downtown areas.
Building: The building had a great gym, pool (we didn’t use), and a great outdoor space to hang out and eat when it was nice out. The security was more lax than made us comfortable; it seemed the front desk buzzed in anyone without questions.
Accommodations: The listing was accurate and we had everything we needed for our stay. The only think it lacked was a dresser to unpack into, but that’s minor.
Hosts: the hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful. Communication was speedy and easy. We had a number of issues in the building during our stay — none of which were under the control of our hosts, but they bent over backwards to make sure we were taken care of. (From speaking to long time building residents the issues with the building were outside the norm and likely a one-off. It’s generally a very well maintained building.)
If we find ourselves back in Seattle and this stay is available we’d look into staying again.
