This is a great place to stay if you are there for a couple of days! However, if you are looking for longer-term rental (such as intern housing), this place was a little difficult. First off, Melissa is a great host! She is very responsive, and will quickly be available to aide any problems you may be having. However, the pictures and description provide an optimistic view of living availability. First off, there is no carpeting or couch, and the place is a little smaller than it seems in pictures. The TV did not have a satellite attachment as depicted in images. The toilet took a really long time to flush. And finally, the wifi was very poor. Though the host mentioned multiple Wifi availabilities, none of them were fast, and connection in the bedroom was especially poor. I could not get a basic youtube video to load the majority of the time. However, the proximity to UW and U-District as a whole was great. My roommate and I felt though that for the amount we were having to pay, even with the long term discount, there are nicer places throughout Seattle. We both ended up spending the majority of our time with friends outside our apartment. With all that being said, we are definitely very appreciative of how great a communicator the hostess was, and the accessibility of the location. If you just need a place to sleep for a couple of days this is a great place!
