Nicole was very responsive to emails and flexible with our arrival. She met and showed us around the unit. She made sure there was some food to get us started and supplied us with our requisite fresh coffee (it is Seattle after all!) The place was exceptionally well decorated, extremely clean, organized and highly functional and met all of our needs.
Parking was always available and the location was central to our needs, with good access to the major thoroughfares.
The only drawback, which was clearly disclosed in the listing and noted by other guests, was hearing the upstairs tenants. They weren't loud or obnoxious, it's just how basement apartments are, earbuds did the trick for me. All-in-all, Nicole's place is highly recommended. She's a top-notch host!
