The location was great. The building was safe and secure. Having an indoor parking spot was a bonus. The room was as described. There were portable air conditioning units rather than central air. The first night was hot. I would make sure the air is working if I was staying during the summer months.

We loved just about everything about this place. The location is amazing. The view of the wheel at night is truly remarkable. Fireplace wasn't working and I was told it's been turned off for safety. One of the windows wouldn't close properly, but it wasn't too much of an issue. And the main TV had a missing remote control which make it impossible to control volume, so we didn't use it. The bathroom, kitchen, space, and location were all great. We didn't use the laundry or the hot tub/communal areas. We would stay again for sure.

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.

Very convenient location and the check in process was super easy. Comfortably slept 3 people. Only issues were the A/C unit in the living room was not vented and the apartment was very warm when we arrived, 78 degrees. The Carpet could use a deep cleaning. Owner/manager was very communicative through the entire process.
