Apartment was clean and spacious. Nice quiet building; I never heard any noise from any other apartments. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, essentials like tea and salt, appliances etc.
Really well located, near to several buses, and being in the U District, you can find your way back via buses easily, knowing that you'll end up somewhere nearby. I also noticed a lot of Zipcars nearby; one in the building's parking lot and several on Roosevelt, which could be useful.
The day before I arrived, I arranged to check in a couple hours earlier than the listing said. I arrived and dropped my stuff, went out with a friend and when we returned the host was in the apartment, panicking in case someone else other than me had let themselves in. The next day I got a text asking if my friend had stayed the night. I don't know where the communication had got confused regarding my arrival time and found the text a little inappropriate and intrusive.
The biggest drawback was that the wifi was terrible. For a few hours in the middle of the day it was okay but never enough to stream videos and prevented me from doing work. In the evening it was nonexistent. I ended up using 3G or the open network of the hotel next door.
Overall I had a good stay and would stay here again.
