Overall a great stay! Rented the room for five days for a conference at UW, and I am glad that I have stayed at Sheldon’s place.
The best part is the location. Easily walkable to the University and to bus stops that connects you to the light rail or to downtown. Lots of great restaurant choices just downstairs.
The bathroom problems that I saw in earlier reviews are corrected. Have not had issues with cleanliness or broken sink. Everything works and the bathroom is clean.
Can find everything I need in the apartment. Hair dryers, etc.
Check-in and check-out are smooth, and communications with Sheldon is easy.
Tips for future guests-
1 Could be quite loud at some nights. Not the host’s fault. It comes with the convenient location that it locates on the major streets filled with restaurants. Closing the window helps a lot, so I am not much affected.
2 The windows can be closed but slightly tricky. Adjust the screen window and take it down. Then you can close the window.
3 During lunch time, the oily smell of the restaurant downstairs could come from the kitchen window and the bathroom. Closing the window and the bathroom door helps.
4 No WiFi. I didn’t notice it when I book the place. I go to campus with the conference provided WiFi, so it is not a big issue for me. Had to use WiFi one evening, went to the Starbucks just downstairs.
