Andre and Joel's place suited my needs perfectly. The condo is situated superbly for walking to the Convention Center as well as other key downtown Seattle sites. There are plenty of coffee spots and restaurants nearby. While the heating system in the building does make noises, the condo itself is well insulated from city noises (bring along a pair of earplugs if sensitive to noises while sleeping). The apartment is equipped for basic cooking needs and I was able to cook any meals I desired. A Keurig machine is available, but plan on bringing own cup pods. Andre and Joel communicated regularly with me prior to, during and after my stay. They responded promptly to any inquiries I had. I would stay at their place again while in Seattle.
