Why I can recommend this spot:
- The location (seriously, could absolutely not be in a better spot to catch Seattle’s hotspots)
- The cleanliness (everything was clean and ready to use, plus there’s a washer/dryer and dishwasher in the unit)
- Jeff’s hosting (I was able to work with Jeff on check-in and check-out timing, which was a lifesaver)
- The value (I split this Airbnb with a friend and we both found it comfortable and 100% worthwhile as a base for exploring the city)
Reasons you might pick another spot:
- The noise (I’m used to downtown sound, so it didn’t negatively impact my own experience, but it seriously sounds like you’ve always got a window open. There’s nearly zero noise dampening from the street. There are earplugs in the unit if needed)
- If you’re visiting in the colder months (I’m also used to sleeping in chilly climes, but the radiator and directional heater didn’t do a lot to warm up the place during my stay in early March)
I can wholeheartedly recommend this spot if you’re a young, first-time visitor like me – Pike Place, the Needle, the pier, and downtown are all within super-reasonable walking distance. I went to Top Pot (right next door) literally every day. I probably got fat. Five stars.
