We arrived to a condo that had not been cleaned. The host sent over a housekeeper but not until 8pm which made it very difficult since we were travelling with our one year old. One of the windows was broken and wouldn’t close. The carpet needs to be replaced and the plug for the bathtub doesn’t stop it from draining so we couldn’t give our son a bath. Other than that the location is ideal
This property was the cleanest place I have stayed at. Location is central to all major sites around the city. Would highly recommend staying here and will be booking again!
This location was fantastic, close to a lot of attractions and Pike Place. The construction made it a little difficult to get to, but still not terrible. I would stay here again.
Clean unit with all necessary amenities including lots of Keurig coffee pods to choose from. Location was nice to get to the waterfront and Pikes Market.
We had the opportunity to stay the weekend of the opening of the new Waterfront Walk. We had such great weather and great views. So convenient to walk out the front walkway right to the waterfront. Just steps away from Pike Market and the cruise terminal. We will definitely book this location again. Thank you!!!!
The view and location of this property was amazing! Close to transportation, scooters, Pike Place, across from Ferris wheel and aquarium. If it wasn’t for the lack of owner replies, this would get 5 stars. Before & during the trip there was no response from owner on things we asked for/about.

Great location - very convenient!
Ideal location and beautiful views. Clean and comfortable. Made for a very nice visit. Two downsides - balcony wasn’t available as door was permanently locked. Also the fireplace advertised in posting was not functional. When we messaged the host, she ignored the messages and didn’t acknowledge either one. Point is, if the balcony and fireplace aren’t available please don’t advertise them - or at least make your guests aware when booking so they aren’t disappointed to find out later. Other than this it was a great stay.

Shirley is very good with responses and providing details. Condo was clean, full off natural light and very well maintained. Would've received an excellent except for one thing - very noisy because it's the unit right by the highway/ramp. Even inside the condo and especially if you are on the balcony you get the noise and the full view of anyone driving down from the ramp to the upper busy road to Alaskan way ( the main road is up one level and the waterfront road to the building entrance is down one) This was not mentioned in the description. There is only a corner view of the water, but the view is partially blocked by the aquarium.
If you don't mind that the location is great.
Excellent location! Walking distance to most things. The condo is very cute but in serious need of maintenance. Couldn’t use the balcony, the door was duct taped shut. Was told cable tv and streaming available, they were not! Ac units were rigged up in the window, the window may as well been wide open it was cold and very noisy. We had fun, with a serious cleaning and maintenance this would be an awesome place.

Nice unit
Nice unit and very clean. Communication with owner or host pretty much non-existent. No check out instructions.
Within walking distance to all fun things to do and see in downtown Seattle and the waterfront boardwalk. We parked the car in the secure underground parking and didn't have to drive until we checked out. Within a few blocks of Pike Market, within a mile of the Space Needle, Chihuly glass house and gardens and MoPop, all of which were great! Also walked to Chinatown, King St Station, Smith tower (what a great observatory) and visited many quaint businesses in between. So much good food at nearby restaurants, couldn't go wrong with chowder anywhere! Our balcony overlooking the Wheel and water was a nice end to the day. The bed was comfortable and clean. Only change would be to maybe have a few more implements in the kitchen for reheating take out food or making a pizza.
Location wa perfect for our stay as it was right in front of the piers. But the condo was DIRTYYY the carpets were stained and had a funk to them, the balcony wasn’t accessible due to the door latch being broken. Fans look like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. I had to fix the faucet since the handles fell off, and there was light with burned out light bulbs like in the closet where you definitely needed light. The condo just needed some attention but the location was great for us. Communication with the host was ehh as she only responded when she wanted too and answered questions that she wanted too as well.

All of the above (kitchen, laundry and parking) were fully accessible and easy to navigate.
Perfect location for accessing the waterfront, pikes market, and other attractions. The overall property is top notch and the views from the apartment are great.
What a great location! Had a short stay here in August. We went to Pike Place and The Aquarium. Also had a wonderful dinner at Elliotts. Everything was so close and the view from the balcony was fantastic!
Ideal location, walk to Aquarium, Pikes Place Market and all of the waterfront attractions.The condo was clean, comfortable and perfectly equipped. The balcony was the icing on the cake.We would love to come back to this sweet place!
This spot was fantastic! Great distance from a lot of attractions and very quiet building. Host was very responsive and walked us through the whole process! Would 100% stay here again and would recommend to anyone!
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.
