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!!!

Heidi R., Where do you live?

Host didn’t give very good check in and shoukd have warned us about the construction. The place didnt have a hair dryer like it stated. I reached out to the host but no response. Also asked about the fireplace advertised, didnt work. The place could use some repairs and the bathroom needs to be cleaned better (hair buildup, etc). No response from Host via app twice and text onceThe good stuff...the view, location, comfort and did I mention the view and location!?!

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 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

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.

Pros: 1. This is a very nice complex and is in a great location. We have stayed at other units here numerous times. Cons: 1. Communication with this owner when we had a problem after our arrival was not good.2. The photos are old and need to be updated to show the current view from the balcony. We don’t mind this view, but the pictures are not accurate. Pictures attached. 3. The carpet is in desperate need of stretching and cleaning. Again the pictures are not accurate. Pictures attached4. Overall cleanliness and repairs are needed. Bathroom door loudly squeeked, fan did not work, ceiling fan in living room was dirty, dish soap was brown.5. AC was not on when we arrived and the door in the living room has to be open for the standing unit to vent out which is counter intuitive .

Terrific location! Parked the car on arrival and and didn’t use it after that. Carpets are badly stained, rippling up, and need replacing.Weather was quite warm, and the only air conditioner was in the bedroom and could barely keep it cool enough for sleeping. Another air conditioner in the living room would be a great improvement.
