On balance, I recommend this property for those who are trying to be economical about their traveling. The apartment has very little street noise even though the main house faces a busy street. We experienced some upstairs noise but not during quiet time. The property has been recently remodeled with an excellent bathroom and shower but no room for counter space. The built-in bookcase and entertainment center was done well. Furnishings and decorator items are somewhat lacking but that shouldn't be a necessary item. The important thing is cleanliness and comfort. Property is kept fairly clean but may not be to the most stringent of standards. Hardwood floors throughout are a big help. The linen was fresh but the beds were not very comfortable and I recommend an investment by the owners in quality mattresses. The surrounding area is a bit funky but there are excellent places to eat and drink if you don't mind a very casual atmosphere. Access to public transportation is excellent with a short walk to the bus stop that will take you down to downtown Seattle and the space needle. The apartment is only a couple blocks from Green Lake which is excellent for taking a pre-dinner walk.
