I would not recommend this place. We chose it in an effort to be near the downtown and Pike Place market. Though the location was decent (still 30+ min walk to the market), the apartment was unnaceptable, especially considering the price point and description as a "modern retreat". The strong odour throughout the apartment and the bed was quite an afront. The bathroom was surprisingly dirty (including a toiled with urine stains, a grimy bathtub, and not even fresh TP). Sleeping was uncomfortable on the unpleasantly aging and odorous matress. It is also surprising that guests are expected to clean (including collecting garbage and washing dishes and putting on drying rack) and yet the dishes hadn't even been put away off the drying rack since the last guest. Though I would have loved to write something more pleasant, I hope that this review will motivate the host to improve standards and potential guests to look elsewhere.
