Pros:
- The apartment was very clean and everything I used was in working order (I only stayed a couple days, so I did not end up making use of the microwave). The bed was also very comfortable.
- Check-in was easy and convenient and Melissa was available but not at all intrusive
- The location is very convenient for getting around. I had never been to Seattle before my stay and I was able to walk and take public transit from this location with no issues
- The building was quiet and the other tenants friendly
Cons:
- As noted in the listing, the water tank is small, so be prepared to stagger if you are staying with others/try to shower during off-peak times
- The internet was a little spotty during one day of my stay
- The windows were slightly difficult to keep open (they kept sliding down) and one of the window screens was damaged, so I needed to leave it shut for the duration of my stay to prevent bugs from coming in
- After I checked out, I realized I had left my jacket in the building. I attempted to reach Melissa by email, text, and calling. I did not receive a response from her for over an hour. Luckily, I was able to get back to the building to retrieve my coat. However, if things hadn't worked out, the fact that I couldn't get a hold of her on short notice could have been an issue.
Overall, a good, clean place to stay close to transit and all your basic shopping needs.
