In this unit specifically you will not receive much direct sunlight because it is below the main unit. The space is very clean with nice amenities and surprisingly well protected from noise pollution from Aurora Avenue, which is less than 30 feet from the units front door. Aside from the unit itself, the owners did a great job with the personal website for this house that covers all the information you could want in a succinct and clear fashion. Overall this is a great unit in Seattle and right next to the beautiful Greene Lake which is a huge plus!
