This was a great location for us! Sheldon graciously let us book last minute (day of!) and met us there to show us the apartment and give his the key. The apartment was simple but had all that we needed. The University District has a lot to offer. Thai Tom is a must. It's about a 20 min bus ride from Capitol Hill/downtown. We walked to Fremont (about 30-40 min) and that wasn't bad at all as there is a walking path.
