Overall, it was a great stay. Location is perfect with the train station a block away, Pike Market a couple blocks and a stairway down to the waterfront. The safety and security of the building was great, it was a little stark but clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen had basic supplies needed to prepare meals. It was great to have a washer and dryer as well.
That being said, I was disappointed with the communication with the hosts. I asked if I could possibly get in at 3 instead of 4 and was assured I could but to wait for a message. I never received one until 4:30 saying the apartment was ready (I had already gone in at 4). I received a long message of what was required of me and also that although the apartment had no a/c, I should open the window and door and use the fans. When I asked where they were twice, I never got a response until 2 days later after I checked out. They apologized and stated the last they knew there were 2 there and someone must have taken them. It was pretty hot during the day with 1 small window and a door to open, but I had no problem sleeping as it was cooler then. There is a small table with some wooden slat chairs on the balcony.
This is an apartment in the heart of the city, so like all cities, there will be noise. I travel with a small sound machine and that worked well. I travel a lot and although the time of year with the high temperature made it a little warm, I would recommend this location.
