"The layout of this efficiency is great. It doesn't feel like an efficiency and is very spacious for 2 people. There is much more room than a hotel. The balcony has a great view and we spent a lot of time out there. The weather was perfect the week we were there, but the nights were loud with the window open (especially on the weekend) and it took a while to get comfortable. We left the window open and tried to deal with the noise. There is a hole for an AC and I would have paid a little extra to have an AC. I wish that would have been an option. I would recommend to the owners to make that an option in the future. Other than that, the apartment is in a perfect location. 5 minutes from Pike Place Market, 5 minutes from the Waterfront Piers, and 5 minutes from a huge Target that has groceries. There are several restaurants that are within walking distance too. The pool and hot tub are great and the apartment is decorated really nicely. The bed was comfortable. I would stay there again as long as it weren't any hotter. I would definately stay there again if we had the option of AC in the warmer months!"
