Location, location! This worked out great for our pre-cruise location. we stayed 2 nights and we found the area very walkable with great shops and restaurants within 5 block radius. Just so you know. This apartment does not have AC. Something we found out Seattle doesn't normally have. We went in May and had 2 - 85 degree days. Thank goodness for the fans in the apartment. Also, this apartment is on the 3rd floor, with no elevator. Just keep in mind. Everything else was great. The bed was comfy and you never heard any neighbors.
