The location is excellent, a few minutes' walk from Seattle Center, the Space Needle, Denny Triangle, a variety of restaurants and bars, and a neighborhood grocery store a block away.
A slightly longer walk takes you to the waterfront, the aquarium, a Target, and Pike Place Market, home to fresh meat and seafood, a huge variety of produce, fresh flowers, spices, baked goods, cheese, restaurants, and overpriced curios and tourist-oriented shops.
Lyle's place is exactly as described - comfortable and centrally located. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, baking pans, utensils, and enough tools to cook meals when you don't feel like going out. The building has a great view of the city and the Space Needle from the roof deck, at least when it's not raining.
The exercise room in the building is small but equipped with a treadmill, an elliptical, a stationary bike, and some hand weights so you can work out if you want to when it is raining.
Self check-in was easy, and Lyle's communication was welcoming and spot-on.
