I decided to take public transportation from SEA-TAC to the Chinatown Station and then walk from there so I could get a feel for what is close by. Not much. Except for the building construction and an elementary school, there wasn't much nearby. There was able public transportation nearby which is great because you would really need a car to get around or at least get to downtown. Did I feel safe here, yes. I bring this up first since it took two keypads and a key to get into my Airbnb.
Yes, the apt was on the 5th floor and yes there was no elevator. Of course you can imagine my surprise of the old refrigerator right across from the door to the hall wall to the apt. Finally, we reach the apt. Yes, it was a no frills apt. The table did wobble which became annoying as I tried to write some reports. Yes. The bed was a cot, the sheets could have been cleaner, but surprisingly the bed wasn't uncomfortable.
The fact that the sink in the kitchen area is also the same sink you use to brush your teeth and wash your hands after using the bathroom was a little bizarre. Yes, the towels were dingy but smelled like they were washed. The shower had good pressure and got hot real fast. There weren't any real amenities, the k-cups were bunched together with silverware. There was a gym and there were views reportedly, however, I never had any time to take advantage of either. The surrounding area was quiet and I was able to fall asleep quickly.
CONCLUSION. While this was a no frills apt, I do feel like I was overcharged. PS. I could have done without the 4am fire alarm. Yes, a 4am fire alarm...
