This space is a great spot for visiting the University of Washington. It's right next to campus and surrounded by good cheap eats. Sheldon told us to use the streets to the west to avoid paying for parking and that was helpful. It's bright, but really a college apartment. It's a great value but you have to be ready for beat up and stained carpet, a not especially clean bathroom, a well used couch and so-so towels. As others mentioned, the alley noise is pretty incredible. I'm not sure why trash trucks came both mornings we were there, but they came loud and proud. Pack your earplugs :)
