The unit is bright and extremely clean. I was attending lectures at the University of Washington and the location was very convenient. The house is just off the Burke-Gilman trail as well which is a fantastic path that runs throughout the area for biking/running/walking. There were also stores, restuarants, and coffee shops within walking distance, and a bus stop a few blocks away. Alysson and her husband were also extremely friendly and very willing to share their lovely outdoor space. The only negative I could foresee is the noise from the upstairs main house. Throughout my stay I could sometimes hear footsteps or murmured talking but it was never obnoxious or intruding- just something to consider if you are sensitive to that sort of thing. All-in-all it was a great place and one I'll look up again next time I'm in the area.
