The place was awesome. It was perfect for the three of us. It was close to all the action of Pike Place market as well as the Space needle, but was still quiet and neighborhood like. There was 2 awesome restaurants right out the front door as well as a handful of great pubs, coffee and convenience stores within one block off the place. Sarah did mention that there is some noise from the bar across the street but again, you are staying downtown and noise needs to be expected. If you want a quiet place to stay, might I suggest Snohomish?
