I was a little nervous about booking this place above a bar and on the street. DO NOT FEAR! I am a light sleeper who is easily awakened and did not have much trouble when using earplugs and having the fan/AC going--a relief during the heat wave Seattle is experiencing. It helped to know what I was getting into, though. I could hear the music downstairs with my head on the pillow, but could fall asleep.
Rick met me at check in and was wonderfully hospitable. The kitchen and coffee were great to have access to. I was working a lot this go-round, but another time, I'm sure it would be fun to mingle with other folks staying or artists or patrons of the establishments downstairs. Would definitely book this affordable cozy spot again.
