Our family of 3 plus a dog stayed in this apartment for nearly 3 weeks during construction on our Seattle house. Janet was very responsive and friendly. She was not home (in the upstairs) very much so we hardly noticed her. Check in/out was very easy. Parking was good for our 2 vehicles.
The house is on a dead end street so there was very little traffic and the area seemed very safe. There is good bus service less than 2 blocks away with the walk being all on the quiet street. The fully fenced backyard was great for our dog. Also, the back of the house is on a green belt, so the yard feels very private and quiet with lots of big trees. Also when considering outdoor benefits, the house is located fairly close to Golden Gardens, one of the best beaches in the Seattle area. It is a 15 - 20 walk each way, mostly through a park. There is a fairly significant difference in elevation so much of the walk is on stairs. If you like to get exercise, I imagine the stairs will give you a good start on your daily exercise routine. Then to replace those lost calories be sure to make the short drive to Larson's bakery, one of Seattle's best. And don't miss the crab cakes from the fish store next to the bakery. Also walkable is (was) a great little organic coffee shop. We went to the coffee shop a couple of times, but unfortunately they had a fire. It will likely be 2018 before it's open for business again.
The one queen sized bed was comfortable and the pillows and linens were of good quality. There was a fold out couch in a small den area that my daughter was comfortable sleeping on. Janet provided partitions so the den area could be made fairly private for our teenage daughter. The shower was above average in size and water pressure. The washer and dryer were above average in size and quality. The kitchen implements were very good with high quality pots and pans. There were also ample plates, glasses, silverware.
One hesitation we have about the apartment is that it is fairly small with typical low basement ceilings. If you are taller than most people, it probably is not a good place for you. But in our case, it was adequate - and easy access to a nice back yard made it desirable to go outside. There were no odors and the apartment was warm enough.
And did I mention it's a great set up for dogs...
