Caroline communicated very well. The condo was mostly clean and in a decent walking location near bars and restaurants.
Belltown in general is not kid friendly at all. There are several restaurants where it's 21 and up only, and several others that really don't want to accommodate children. If you are in Seattle to party, or are a hipster you will feel at home in belltown. The condo is next to a couple really sketchy streets that you will have to pass to get to most restaurants or to reach the water. Again, probably not a big deal if you don't have kids with you.
The unit is in the basement of the complex. There is no elevator so to get to it you have to go up stairs at the building entry and then down two flights once inside the building. Not ideal if you have a kid in a stroller or lots of luggage.
I probably would have enjoyed the condo more if I was in my 20s or didn't bring our kid. It's not that the unit was awful, it just wasn't a good choice for our circumstances. Had it been more clear on the initial description we would have chosen a different place.
