Melissa's place is great. I'll try to keep this short.
Host: Melissa was kind, responsive, and flexible. She brought me an AC unit when it got hot, she answered questions when I had them, she helped me troubleshoot the Wi-Fi. Couldn't ask for better. 10/10.
Check-in/access: As easy as it gets. You get a front door code and a unit code. It works every time. No issues. 10/10.
Unit: A little bigger than you might expect, good kitchen, good TV, comfy--though be aware, extra firm--bed. The little table and chairs in the living room were wobbly and the Wi-Fi was slow. Water pressure was nice, though, and no appliance failures, etc. Overall, a very good place. 9/10.
Location: You've got great stuff walkable from the unit but a block up from the I-5 on-ramp so freeway noise is constant. At night it's kind of a pleasant white noise but is loud during the day. This part of Pike/Pine is probably the sketchiest area in Capitol Hill so there is quite a bit of drug use/ homelessness/ trash/ etc. It all depends on what you're used to, though. In a month here I only saw a couple things that were concerning to me. 7/10.
