I have it on good authority that one of your team mates stayed at the apartment. He apparently has more pull in such matters than you. I'd tell you which team mate it was, but corp perks like who has an executive wash room key aren't secrets I give away.

Oh dude, now you are making me regret not coming along. I do not condone the abduction of Google employees but I will tell you that your intel is virtually worthless regarding the corporate apartments: those things are always booked to capacity every time someone from the GAE team visits the Seattle office.
