As two Brits visiting Seattle for the 1st time contemporary art loft downtown [#2]was the perfect fit. The room was exactly as it appears in the photos, everything was clean and well presented, free Wi-Fi, TV, iPod dock, etc. The communal areas are great too - tea's, coffee, milk, space in the fridge and cupboards along with crockery. The bathrooms are clean, modern, spacious and well-stocked. The building has one other AirB&B room who share the bathroom, and a suite of workspaces for artists who share the communal areas. When we were staying it was quiet - we had almost no idea there were other people around at night, and those we met in the day were very friendly. The entrance to the building is from the street at ground level and there are stairs that lead straight to the loft/communal areas on the 3rd floor. There's one key for the door from the street and another for the room. It feels secure at night and a safe place to leave your stuff in the day.

Both Dirk and Jaq work in the building (in the workspaces and Dirk has a gallery on the ground floor). We only met Dirk. He's very friendly and helpful. There's a book with local recommendations in the loft - along with most people leaving reviews on here, we wholeheartedly recommend Zeitgeist for coffee and breakfast.

The loft is in the International District and easy walking distance from King St and Union Stations. We caught the Light Rail from Seatac airport and you can almost see the building when you leave King St station. Pioneer Square and Downtown are all close by. We walked most places - we got as far as the Space Needle one day and Volunteer Park the next but there is loads of public transport leaving from the train stations.

Overall we would recommend staying here 100%.
