Tim and Michelle's apartment is a cute space close to public transit. The bus stops right outside the home and the Link station is a flat 10 min walk (or less). They were very responsive and let us check out a bit late as we were running behind schedule. They also got us into the unit a bit early - there was a bit of an issue with the August app, but it wasn't really a problem.
When we had questions about particular activities and locations they were quick to provide recommendations that helped us navigate our way through our days.
Yes, there is a bit of noise from above, but that's to be expected in a basement apartment and they provided a noise machine in case we needed to drown out the street noise, etc - we didn't need it.
We would recommend that anyone stay here looking to get a taste of Seattle without being in the thick of the city. There are also several great bars and restaurants within a short walking distance. So you don't even have to head into the city to have a night out.
Thanks again, Tim and Michelle!
