Because the condo is in a secure building there will be a few things to be aware of as far as getting in and out of the building, but that's about the only inconvenience here really. You get the benefit of being in a secure building while being downtown. You'll also have a private parking garage to park in. We were told there was a pool to use, but we didn't partake.
Now the parking situation was great. We were able to drive in, park, and didn't move the car again. Why? Because we were able to do plenty of stuff within walking distance of the condo. We walked to get cookies from a local bakery. Went right outside and had breakfast next door. Walked down the street for a nice dinner. We even stopped in to Pike Place Market to hit up some of the lower level shops one day. You can find good brunch spots, dinner, clothes shopping, music, and tons of other stuff all within about 15 or less of walking.
The condo itself is nice. Though it says one bedroom, it doesn't feel tight and stuffy. It was outfitted with a standing fan and portable AC just in case it got warm. We used them and they kept the condo plenty cool, so that was nice. There were plenty of dishes available for simple cooking or even just having something to reheat a meal from the night before. A nice touch as well were extra amenities like umbrellas being available (though we didn't need them on the weekend).
The couch and bed were plenty comfortable. Also, if you were want to have 3-4 people go on a trip together, the living r5oom couch was a pull out bed. So, something to consider if you're travelling with friends or want to do the weekend together in the same place.
The building itself has a lookout deck on the top floor. We were able to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine while overlooking the sound. Granted, on the day, there was cruise ship blocking part of the few, but otherwise it was a nice way to spend an hour on a comfortable evening.
Overall, we really didn't want for much in this venue. It would've been nice to have a Chromecast instead of a Roku to watch more of our favorite shows from our personal devices, but really that's it. And the owners have already said it's something they are considering. Even with that though, we were able to use the Roku to watch a couple of things we'd previously missed. But really, you likely won't be watching *that* much TV with all the activities you have access to nearby.
We really didn't encounter the neighbors in the building except for a couple times in the lobby and couple of folks in the elevator. There didn't seem to be a ton of crazy foot traffic in the building. Everyone we did meet was very nice and friendly though.
I was told we were the first ones to stay in this particular condo since they listed it, so good job to them for getting it right out of the gate. I'd definitely recommend this venue and we would consider staying there again if we need a place in Downtown Seattle. Honestly, I'd rather stay here than most of the hotels.
