This condo was great for a Seattle stay. Yes, there is construction going on. The condo is so well insulated from noise, that we hardly could hear any of it. The view from unit does look to it, but you still get an awesome view of the downtown buildings, water, stadiums, and if you are lucky like us, Mt Rainier. super easy access to Pike Place Market,from both South and North ends of building. I think the North end on Lenora is easier as to avoid the construction. Pier 62 right across the street is a nice place to sit and enjoy outside. The condo was very clean and the building is nice as well. It does take some maneuvering to get in and out when walking out to the street and back. The garage is very easy direct access to the floor. But, you should not need your car at all. It is a quick walk to not only the market, but to the monorail to take you to Seattle Center, not to mention that you are right at the waterfront locations like aquarium and Wheel. I would say if you are any way conflicted based on the comments regarding construction, don't be. It was a non-issue for us and we were there when they were doing a massively disruptive part of the project. You won't even notice it honestly, and there are 100 other positives about the location and the unit itself to make up for it. We even had 7 and 11 year old kids with us, and felt totally comfortable walking around at night (even played soccer at night on Pier 62). Would absolutely stay here again.
