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 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.

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.

Very convenient location and the check in process was super easy. Comfortably slept 3 people. Only issues were the A/C unit in the living room was not vented and the apartment was very warm when we arrived, 78 degrees. The Carpet could use a deep cleaning. Owner/manager was very communicative through the entire process.

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.

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.
