We stayed at Melissa's airbnb for a few days while visiting Seattle for work at UW. It is really really close to campus, and the walk takes you down University Way which is a great place for food, shopping, etc. We really enjoyed the proximity and appreciated the security of the location (locked building, locked door, etc.).

Melissa was a very accommodating host; she provided us with some basics (pots and pans, silverware, cups) and some tea to make while we were there.

The room itself is functional and comfortable; the bed is comfy, the couch is really comfy, and the kitchen chairs and desk chair actually provide a good spot to get work done in the evenings. The kitchen is functional and the stove works well; the fridge is huge, clean, and empty.

The only thing we weren't very satisfied with was the shower. The water heater tank is very small; you can JUST barely get through a 6 to 8 minute hot shower, and then it's a very sudden change to cold water. I found that cutting the water off while doing things like shampooing/conditioner helped conserve the hot water, but it meant I was cold during that time too. It also meant my husband and I had to shower at different times of day so that we could both have hot showers.

Additionally, the bathtub doesn't drain very well at all, even considering that we tried to clean it out. By the end of the shower, the tub is ankle-deep in water, and it takes quite some time (hours) to drain, and leaves the bottom of the tub pretty gross looking afterward. Some draino or other attention would definitely help, though it won't solve the hot water issue.

Overall, we were moderately pleased with the price considering location and comfort of furniture, plus flexibility of the host when it came to checkin-checkout; she was super flexible and nice about all of it. Fixing the bathtub issue would go a long way, as would an eventual swap for a larger water heater.

Will end with this: you CANNOT beat the location for the price.
