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!!!!

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.

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.

There’s a lot of construction across the street so it was a little noisy during the day. That’s something we didn’t have any control over so overall stay was excellent. We arrived early and host was flexible and friendly.

Ideal Location & View - poor response

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.

Dirty

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.

3 night stay

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.

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.

Great Location

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.

Great location to see Seattle

Stayed here to visit Seattle after being on the Olympic Peninsula. Overall, great location and clean property. There was air conditioning which was nice as it was on the warmer side when we were there. Unfortunately, it is RIGHT next to a massive construction site. So while you do have a view of the sound, it’s mostly a view of construction. Additionally, the bedroom needs some curtains as it gets very bright in the morning making it hard to sleep. I wish there had been more cooking utensils/pots/pans as well. The apartment itself was big, clean, and the building itself was very nice. It was such an easy quick walk to Pike’s Place, Space Needle, and great restaurants.
