Location, location, location!!!!! A 3 minute walk to Pike Market or the Waterfront. Great view of Elliot Bay and the Waterfront. Hot tub was great after a full day of walking in and out of all the great little shops. The only really small issue was that one of the entry hallway lights and a couple of under cabinet lights in kitchen were not working. Maybe just a bulb issue. I like my spaces to be well lit. Overall I was very happy with the place!!!

It was not clear that this unit is in an apartment complex. So you check in on one side of the complex and then you have to walk outside to get into your unit. This is only important if you have lots of luggage. The location was OUTSTANDING you can walk to the whole harbor and Pikes market. If you are cruising, you may need to take an UBER to the port terminal, its really not walkable. Their were a few "condition" issues in the unit (kitchen cabinet door was broken off) but it is nicely stocked and very comfortable

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.
