Alex's place is right in the heart of Downtown Seattle. Pike Place Market is less than a 5 minute walk, same with the boardwalk. There was so much to do and see and eat within 5 minutes in any direction. We had an issue with the key fob when we arrived and Alex was gracious enough to overnight us his copy so that we could do the things we wanted to do free of stress. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you ever visit :)
