Pesha was very welcoming! She showed us the apartment and then left us alone. She left a few snacks and drinks for us. The space is really nice and open and clean. Lots of windows looking out to a wooded area with access to the alley. No AC, as is to be expected in Seattle, but with the windows open and a few manipulations of the blinds it was comfortable. The neighborhood is nice and quiet but accessible anywhere with the buses. Expect to hear kids playing outside all day. Both a Safeway and a natural food market are walking distance. As advertised, this is a ground floor apartment and you can hear people walking upstairs, but nothing extreme. The kitchen has the necessities for cooking and many new appliances and cookware. There is a table and chairs on the deck and inside.
