This apartment has three things going for it: location - it’s an easy walk to downtown, the light rail, and Pike Place Market; space - two bedrooms and two bathrooms; and a garaged parking space. Beyond that, this apartment is shabby - no “wands” to close window blinds, air leak around the window in one bedroom, many signs of neglect and needed repairs, and grimy - with apparently permanent stains on furniture and carpet. The beds, one firm and one soft, suited our needs, and we appreciated the quick and abundant hot water.
