This unit is exactly why we enjoy booking on Airbnb. You get to stay at unique, funky, cool places that you rarely find in a regular hotel. The building is historic and gorgeous right in the heart of Seattle's original neighbourhood, Pioneer Square. You are right around the corner from the underground tour, 10 minutes walk from Safeco and CenturyLink Field, and a 15 minute walk from Pike Place. Unless you plan to go to outer areas of the city you really don't need a car. If you do drive, which we did, there are plenty of parking garages in the area. However we only ever parked on the street as meters only charge until 6pm in this area. We used our car during the day. You need to be aware that you in the heart of the city and there are a lot of unique characters living there, but everyone we encountered were friendly or kept to themselves. I never felt unsafe, but I live in an urban core and am very used to this. You enter the building with a code that works at both the front door and the unit door. Very easy. Wait until you enter the building! So cool. Brick walls, hardwood floors, and local art on every wall. The unit itself is the same with a very funky vibe and a feature wall with artwork from the buildings resident artists. The bedroom is quite large with tall ceilings. Bed is comfy with a table, 2 chairs and 2 side tables. Foyer has a shelf with mini-fridge, coffee maker, and Seattle tourism information. There's also a closet with a fan (which we used as it was hot in Seattle while we were there) and books to read. The bathroom is very nice with basic amenities like shampoo and towels. We rarely saw anyone in the hallways and the building kind of felt like our own place at times. Street noise at time can be a little loud but when the window was shut it was surprisingly quiet. Though people very sensitive to noise might have a problem. Jane was a wonderful host who replied to our questions very quickly. Overall we loved it and will stay there again one day.
