BOOK IT. I just can't say enough good things about this location and about Siena's customer service. First, the location, which was just perfect. We were lucky to get this place while it was discounted, or else we would have been further out in the burbs. It's a short walk down to Pike Place Market, and an even shorter walk to the Monorail stop that goes straight to the Space Needle. I wasted weeks trying to book units right next to Pike Place Market, when this unit was still so close (10 minutes walking, maybe?), and probably had better parking than down by the waterfront would have (parking is tough downtown!). The unit is also around the corner from a useful little grocery, the excellent Tango tapas bar and restaurant, and a yummy crepes joint a couple blocks down Pike. Plus, it's right by the highway, yet you don't hear the traffic noise.

The unit's layout is PERFECT. A good master bedroom with a flexible guest room (a door at each end, which was handy to get our baby in and out without waking the toddler). And two bathrooms - stocked with essential shampoos, soaps, etc AND a stocked medicine cabinet, like, advil, benadryl, etc. What a nice detail! Great decor throughout, nice open living layout, and a ridiculously generous welcome basket in the fridge - beer, wine, chocolate, bottled waters, and much more. My one complaint was the roof decks. They are practically useless they are so small.

Other reviewers were right on the mark about the host, Siena - she was prompt, thorough, funny and gracious. She brought us cupcakes and cookies before checkout, either for no reason or maybe because the toilet momentarily backed up that morning, which was no big deal with another one to use. Dealing with such a friendly host was so nice.

We enjoyed the heck out of this unit - and let me tell you, it is really hard for a family with 2 kids under 4 to truly enjoy anywhere that isn't home. We would most definitely stay here again if we come back out West. Take my word for it, this place is THE ONE if you are visiting Seattle, especially if the price is right or even close to right. You will feel right at home, right away.
