First and foremost, Houng & Bill were so great to deal with! They communicated with us several times before we arrived including the day before (welcoming us!!) and then dropped by soon after we arrived to introduce themselves in person. They were so warm and friendly. Second, this rental is a great value!!!! It was so reasonably priced, yet it was still a cozy place with all we needed. While the kitchen does not have a stove (which we did not need since we ate out or at local relatives) it does have a frig, microwave & coffee maker. The only thing that we were a bit "turned off" by was the tub...it looked old and stained (which immediately conjures fears of mildew & mold), but it had clearly been cleaned and the rest of the apartment was spotless. We will be back each and every time we visit Seattle. What a find!
