Location is everything!! We loved our stay, just steps from the waterfront and the new access to the market. We will be back! The carpet could use a cleaning, but that is overlooked given the location and the view. Excellent communication with the host.

This is a great place for two or three people. It is centrally located, a stairway (or elevator) to Pike Place Market, a step out the front door to the waterfront. It's an easy one-mile walk to the ballpark or to Pioneer Square. And somehow it is quiet!

The location on the waterfront was great. It had easy access to everything we wanted to do. The onsite parking was a welcome addition.Unfortunately, the unit has no central air conditional which was made up for by loud portable units installed in the bedroom and living room.

Terrific location! Parked the car on arrival and and didn’t use it after that. Carpets are badly stained, rippling up, and need replacing.Weather was quite warm, and the only air conditioner was in the bedroom and could barely keep it cool enough for sleeping. Another air conditioner in the living room would be a great improvement.

Condo near Pikes Market

The overall location is great. Unfortunately, there is no central air and the portable unit in the living area is just a fan, and the one in the bedroom makes so much noise you can't sleep with it running. Parking is very tight and very strick. I unfortunately got charged an additional 150 fine for not coming to a complete stop after entering the garage. The front desk, is less then helpful. When I went to check in, she sat on a personal phone call for over 17 minutes and won't make eye contact with me.

Seattle/Cruise

Location was excellent. Unit was clean however the carpet had dirty spots. The real negative was that the temperature in the unit was 84 degrees. There was a floor ac unit in the bedroom that vented out (it was very loud) , but the floor unit in the living room did not vent out, you had to open the balcony door in order to vent out the hot air. This kind of defeated the purpose of the unit in the living room. My suggestion is if it is warm, have the units already turned on before your guest arrive.

Location is great. Having parking is also a big plus but construction outside impeded the view & made getting in and out of the building challenging.
