First time in Seattle, really liked this place for the location and convenience with car rental. It is big and feels like a home away from home. Amaris & her sister were great with communicating quickly. You're very close to Fremont center and not too far from Ballard, but I would recommend getting a rental car if it fits your budget staying here Bc parking is super easy and Seattle is a very easy to drive city we got to hit all the best spots as well as Mount Rainier in 4 days because we had the car and without it we definitely would have to had remove a few or spend way more time walking to and from public transport. This is on a residential street but 10 min walk or so from restaurants and stores which was perfect for us but if you're looking to be dead center of the action maybe not for you but I think for most people it would be a perfect mix. This location really will make you appreciate all Seattle has to offer though and I would highly recommend this over staying downtown which just wasn't as nice as places like Fremont, Ballard, Queen Anne, etc which are like little cities within a city.
