The host provides a lot of good info that is especially helpful if not from the area and always fast to respond. The layout of the apartment is great as it has all the basics especially for a longer stay. Note unit is in an older building that does not seem to be kept up very well and the walls are thin with gaps in the doors. The common laundry area, hallways, and entry way had not been cleaned during my entire stay and likely longer before that.
The location is the best part as it is very close to UW, public transit, and to grab takeout along the Ave. When I first entered the apartment, I could right away tell it had not been cleaned from the last visit which surprised due to the current pandemic. I spent a good 5 hours cleaning and the host was apologetic and helpful providing proper cleaning equipment and replacing appliances. There’s a smell that permeates the building as well as construction up the street if you are a light sleeper which will continue through next year. If you have any mobility issues, note that unit is on the top floor with only stairs and the laundry room is on the first floor.
