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.

Fun in Seattle!

We loved the location and the view (Our GPS steared us incorrectly. You want to go on Alaskan Way. Some construction in the area.)We loved having the space of a condo.) The Kitchen is beautiful. The bed comfortable. We would definitely return.

Beautiful Pre Cruise Stay

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Seattle waterfront

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.

Good location for where I needed to be, but this place was so dirty. The carpets were dirty and stained, every drawer I opened, had hair in it and dirt and debris. I wish I could send pictures. The kitchen had spilled food and crumbs and almost all of the cupboards. I was just pretty disappointed.

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.
