This is the perfect place to stay when discovering Seattle for the first time. Melissa gives fantastic recommendations of all sorts of places to check out - bonus points for this location being so close to everything, so walking to lots of places is definitely a possibility.
I would 100% recommend this place to anyone traveling here without a car. If you bring your car, be ready to pay for parking around the block - we got lucky in that we stayed there on a Sunday when parking is free/unlimited.
