This place is a bit rough and ready and could really use some maintenance. It’s an old craftsman building that definitely has some charm—it has high ceilings and old fir floors in most of the house—but it also has peeling paint, water damage to the kitchen counters, a super dirty laundry room, and a host of other issues. It’s half a block from Aurora, which is a pretty notorious street—though we had no issues with the proximity, and it’s also two blocks from Greenwood Park, which is lovely for toddlers. Ervin was sweet and very accessible, though these issues were well beyond what could be fixed during a stay. It’s a lot of space, but we also have stayed in similarly sized, nicer places in Seattle for less, so I’m not sure the value is there if those are available.
