This basement apartment is as described: plenty of space to relax in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood worth exploring.
Good communication from Lisa: she let me know she would be out of town during the visit and made me aware of a couple of issues before my arrival. Yet, on the day of check in, she reached out to make sure I had made it ok and had updated information about the entry code to the unit. (Her husband was on site and ready to help when my dead phone missed her messages) She had great recommendations for local restaurants and things to do in Seattle.
The space itself is a roomy option to return to after a day of exploring Seattle. With separate bedroom, kitchen, and living room, there is plenty of room to do that summer reading or use the wifi to explore the next day's itinerary. The option of a washer/dryer was most appreciated. There was noticeable noise from upstairs, as to be expected, but nothing that would be too distracting.
I would recommend this apartment to friends and family visiting the area and I would definitely use it on a return trip.
