This unit is in an EXCELLENT location! It was 10-15 min away from everything we wanted to do and see in Seattle, and very easy to get to. The neighborhood is in a residential area and generally pretty quiet and very safe. Having a dedicated parking spot was a HUGE plus. It was a little awkward having the unit right next to a public parking lot, and it could be noisy at times, but nothing major. It was handy having several grocery stores in walking distance as well as plenty of restaurants. The unit was a great size for our family of 4, and having a kitchen with a full sized refrigerator, oven and a dishwasher was awesome. If you plan to do a lot of cooking during your stay, you might want to double check on what tools/utensils are available. Brooke was also very responsive to our questions and needs.
