I would absolutely recommend Alea's place and would stay here again for any future Seattle trips. Upon entering the apartment looked just like the photos and was extremely clean. There was also a welcome note with some snacks which was amazing after a long drive. I felt right at home and had everything I needed (basic pots/pans, soaps, towels, etc.) The location was very quiet to get some good rest and wasn't far from some grocery stores/food shops. I was in town for an event in Downtown Seattle and it was about a 6-9 minute drive depending on traffic. I brought my dog with me and it was great to have a private and fenced-in area for her to get out and play a bit instead of being cooped up inside.
