A really great place to stay near the Convention Center! The apartment was surprisingly spacious, and much more cozy and affordable than the Convention hotels. We even found a shortcut through a cute park that was especially convenient to the part of the Convention Center we were in. I think it was a great value and was a quiet and cozy oasis in the midst of a stressful Convention. The greeter was really friendly and made us feel welcome.
The one disadvantage was a recurring cigarette smell from a neighboring apartment. Sarah was very responsive when I messaged her about it and told us how to handle it—you just need to open the windows to flush the apartment out with the nice fresh Pacific Northwest air. It didn’t interfere with our stay, but I wanted to mention it in case others experienced the same thing. If you’re very sensitive to smoke, you might want to check on the situation before booking. (I’m not sure how permanent the situation is—I know it’s supposed to be a non-smoking building, so it’s possible the neighbor will have moved by the time you are booking.)
All in all, a great place to stay! Keep an eye out for the ghostly penguin shower curtain!
