Maija was very welcoming to us. She showed us around the apartment and handed us the keys. We were on our own the rest of the stay. We basically just needed a place to stay for a friend's wedding, so we really did not stay at the apt the whole time, only to sleep.
Everything was smooth. Found the place right away and it was about a 5-10 minute drive from her place to Pike's Place Market. There is a Whole Foods market and a Pete's Cafe down the hill from her. Definitely need a car.
If you are a light sleeper, don't know if the noise from the walking on the floors above, would bother you. You can pretty much hear everything.
Very nice stay and great price! Thanks Maija for hosting us!
