First off, Jackie and Dirk were great. Very responsive. Dirk met me for check-in. He was very nice and helpful. We were in Seattle for a trade show at the Washington Convention Center and were hoping to be close. I actually can't imagine finding a place to stay that is closer! It was a quick 5-minute walk to the convention center. We were able to park on the street in front of their building (with their permit) so we just left the car there for several days (moved it once) and walked everyday to the trade show. Their place was very clean and had everything we needed, including stuff to make coffee in the morning. The bed is memory foam - so it's very comfy. Plenty of blankets, great towels, etc. We definitely recommend staying here if you need/want to be in the heart of Seattle. We will stay again if we head back to Seattle. Great restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk. We felt safe walking where we needed to go. It's a quick drive down to Pike's Place Market. Keep in mind, you will hear city noise at night. This didn't bother us since we lived in LA for a long time. The only quirk was that we couldn't use the hot water pot for coffee and the microwave at the same time because it would trip the breaker. Easy fix since the panel is right in the kitchen. It's an older building, so we weren't concerned or surprised. Lastly, we think there must be people in the building who smoke, or the smell comes in with them. In Dirk and Jackie's place you could only get a faint hint of it every now and then, but you could smell cigarette smoke everywhere else in the building. Some nights it was worse than others. Something to consider if you have allergies. That said, we really have no complaints about staying there. We loved it and will definitely stay again if we have the chance.
