Kumail's place is in a convenient location! It's within walking distance to Pikes Place and the Space Needle. Transportation is easily accessible and there's food and bars in the surrounding blocks. His place was easy to find. The directions provided were perfect and we had no trouble getting in. Not having to worry about a key was a bonus. Didn't rent a car so I can't say much about the parking situation. Side note, if you're not used to city life, the apartment can get a little loud with the cars and monorail zooming by. The neighbourhood is downtown Seattle. It's relatively safe. I didn't feel like I was going to die walking around by myself (I'm a tiny Asian girl) . There are a lot of homeless people though but they mostly keep to themselves. Other than that, his place is perfect. Would stay here again.
