Gayle's place was absolutely perfect for our family of four. it was the perfect location for exploring all the main sightseeing spots in Seattle. We were able to pick up fresh fish from Pike Place and make some delicious meals in the kitchen. This helped us save some money because food in Seattle is pretty pricey. The kids really loved the pool and courtyard too. The area felt safe and we walked almost everywhere we wanted to go. Check in and check out was very easy. Gayle's instructions were clear and easy and her responses quick. There was even someone there to greet us when we checked in. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and nice. I would highly recommend it to anyone spending time downtown Seattle.
