We chose this condo for its location and because we thought it would be good for our kids. It turned out to be a great choice. The location is perfect. We walked to the Space Needle and Pike’s Market (where we had a delightful meal at an Italian restaurant called The Pink Door.) At the condo the kids swam in the pool, which is well sized, and has a jacuzzi right next to it. Very relaxing! The condo itself is spacious and comfortable, and has some local art, which is a really nice touch. If we go back to Seattle we’d be hard pressed to stay at a better place.

Except for a few minor problems (washer that was difficult to get started due to missing part), inadequate window covering in second bedroom which did nothing to cut down on the bright sunlight at 5:00 a.m., some missing slats in window covering in the living room, and no swimming pool (being repaired the week we were there), we enjoyed our stay. Four of us were comfortably accommodated and if it hadn't been so hot (90 degrees +) two of the days we were there, we would have been completely happy. Unfortunately, the one A/C unit in the living room wasn't enough to keep the place cool. But who would have expected Seattle to get so hot? We certainly didn't.

We found a terrific restaurant around the corner on 2nd Street called La Bella (something) that I would highly recommend. The condo was convenient to everything, with a wonderful bakery two doors away, a great pizza place next door, and a small grocery on the corner. We walked to the market and several other places and used the hop on/hop off bus to visit other touristy destinations.

The owners could fix the few problems easily. Investing in some good blinds for the second bedroom and making sure the appliances work -- or at least leaving a note if there's a problem -- would go a long way toward customer satisfaction.

Despite these inconveniences, I would recommend this condo. It's a good value and extremely convenient place to stay.

This was our second stay at this condo. The first time we had such a great time that we brought along another couple. We all loved it. The condo is very well suited for two couples, as the living room separates the two bedrooms, so there is enough privacy for both. The nearby restaurants (the Macrina Bakery right below is to die for) are terrific. The only concern we had was with the parking. They only have space for one car, and we had two -- so we had to park one car in a lot down the street, which was more expensive and inconvenient. Overall, though, our experience was great and we look forward to a third visit!
