The studio was very clean when we arrived and it had a great view of the space needle. There is construction of a new building across the street so it was kind of noisy, but it did not bother us too much. I hope when construction is finished the view of the space needle remains. Although it looks like a tall building will eventually block it. Rachael was very understanding of our check in and check out needs and was friendly when we communicated. The studio is in a safe, residential area and I would definitely recommend it to others. I would suggest to bring an ipad or computer for entertainment in the studio, there weren't many channel options on the tv. I would absolutely stay at Rachael's place again if I visit Seattle in the future.
