The appartment itself is very conveniently located directly in the U-District only a few block away from the Ave with its restaurants, pubs and bookstore. The location is reasonably quiet and the appartment is clean, even though the building itself could use some facelift. After my arrival Melissa did everything to provide missing items, such as a coffee-maker and additional lamp. Also later on she was always very reponsive. The wifi connection leaves something to be desired.
