This condo is pretty and comfortable and everything that it says it is. The view is breathtaking, so it's wonderful to be able to sit on the balcony for coffee in the mornings and for a glass of wine in the evenings. Some beautiful sunsets by the way. Handily, there is a comfy chair just inside the balcony windows that swivels around, so that when it got cool outside I could move inside and still take in the view. The condo is well stocked with everything you need for your stay. The host responded quickly to questions I had after I arrived.
The location is very central and convenient to many places of interest. Particularly, the monorail is a short walk away, inexpensive to take, and whisks you straight to the Seattle Center in literally minutes, for the Space Needle, Museum of Pop Culture, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and other attractions that I didn't make it to. The Chihuly museum exhibits are jaw dropping. I might go there every day if I lived in Seattle. A lesser known attraction and in the opposite direction is the Seattle Underground tour. I found it fascinating. And a friend of a friend who I had dinner with took me to see the Troll under a bridge. I loved it!
I would definitely stay at this condo again and recommend it to anyone.
A few negatives and suggestions.
Seattle does have homeless people, like probably every other large city, so I mostly didn't go out walking at night (although there were generally a good many tourists out in that area anyway). I had no personal interactions and never felt that I was in danger. The general advice to walk confidently with a purpose and not make eye contact is good to follow, although I did give some dollars away when it suited me. Just a heads up to be aware but don't be afraid.
A suggestion for the condo owner is to have a document with helpful hints, for example about the easy access to the monorail specifically and functioning of the condo doors. I also would have liked recommendations for good restaurants close by. A few of the restaurants that I tried were just mediocre. Oh, and it was a few days before I lucked into finding the microwave in the storage closet across the hall from the kitchen. It's handy to get to, just not obvious that it's there.
The balcony doors were not easy for me to figure out - I'm not familiar with that type. The door knob when turned 45 degrees opens the door so you can walk through it, but if you turn it 90 degrees (which felt like the normal thing to do) the top of the door opens inwards to allow for ventilation. But it felt to me like the door was coming out of its tracks and falling on me. I pushed it in and latched it and felt like I'd escaped danger. I did finally see the small card with instructions hanging on the living room door and laughed at myself. I usually don't need instructions for a door, but now I know.
Also, although thankfully and just by luck this didn't happen to me, if you let the entry door close behind you, it's locked. I don't know what options would have been available to get back in without a key, or if there's a trick I didn't know about, but it would be helpful to know this up front.
All in all, I loved staying at this condo and, again, would highly recommend it. I appreciate that it's available on Airbnb.
