Andre and Joel's apartment was a wonderful stay in Seattle. This was our first time using airbnb and they responded quickly and took care of all of our needs. The key pickup from the key cafe was only a few blocks away and and an easy walk on pike street. The apartment was extremely clean had a great kitchen and large bathroom. The TV was a great addition and could easily be watched while laying in bed! The bed was a nice size with only being a full and comfortable! There was good storage for our luggage and our early check out was simple. We traveled by train to vancouver after our stay in seattle and it was only a 5 minute walk to the bus stop that took us directly to the train station.
Make sure and always come back at night via pike street as from the other direction it is not well lit and was a bit weary in some areas around 11pm. The area and building was very safe just being unfamiliar with the area we learned quickly which streets and buses to take to make our stay easy.
This was a great central location and we visited pikes market the aquarium, space needle, and chihully glass museum all on the city pass we purchased online! Ballard market was far more fun than pikes market in our opinion. Visit the gum wall by pikes market entrance and see the troll under the bridge in fremont!! No car needed to get around - transportation was a breeze. A great day trip was taking the ferry from near the aquarium across to bainbridge island!! A must see. The best food we had was at "the crow" restuarant a few blocks from the space needle! The food was to die for! Thanks again for a great stay in your wonderful city!
