Judy's apartment is exactly as described and shown--lots of light, plenty of room, and enough exterior trees and plantings to feel comfortable leaving the blinds open. Easy access to public transit, a bus stop about a block away with no hill to climb to get there. She also gave us great recommendations to local restaurants and hangouts. Judy was not personally available when we arrived, but made certain that both checking in and out were easy and hassle-free.

Those looking for a sterile, corporate apartment will not find it here. Full of plants, books, and lived-in clutter. Kitchen is small but very workable, with an extensive spice collection. Groceries--from urban mini-mart to full-blown supermarket--are within easy walking distance.

Our stay included some hot days, but the cross-ventilation allowed us to stay comfortable. Washer and dryer use easy and quick. WIFI worked very well.

There was a bit of normal urban street and neighbor noise occasionally, but closed windows took care of that.

All in all, we found it a comfortable base for exploring Seattle.
