My wife and I had such a great experience staying at Gayle's place that we are already looking forward to coming back. It is within 2-10 minutes walking distance to everything from great restaurants, hip bars, shopping and of course the Pike Place Market. I also noticed the security person called out the person that did not punch in the main door code so it was a good affirmation that it was a safe building even though I felt safe throughout our stay. I went for business reasons but I think Gayle's place will be great for kids because of the layout. I also arrived at 1:30 AM and Gayle was very cool and understanding about it so with that I highly recommend Gayle's place!
