We had a very pleasant stay in Akiko's basement apartment. It is a large space, the bedroom well separated from the kitchen and living/dining areas. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and pans. The gas stove was spotless and looked brand new. There is a full size refrigerator, a toaster oven and a microwave, a large separate dining table, a sofa and TV and a work area with a desk and chair. We used public transportation which is quite convenient from Akiko's. The #7 bus on Rainier is about a block away and the Link Rail is a short walk. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had excellent water pressure.
