I stayed at Jenifer's place for 3 consecutive months over the summer--I could not have asked for a better experience. When I moved in, Jenifer even went to extra effort to get an entire new stove/oven because the previous one was experiencing some issues and I mentioned I would be cooking fairly often. Parking is always available either directly outside or one house down, and the location is optimal for driving to Seattle (commuted to South Seattle in about 17 minutes) or up north (26 minutes to Everett for me). It's close to the Northgate Mall and a number of shops; I was always able to go grocery shopping a very short distance away. The entrance to the studio is indeed separate from the main entrance, so it really felt like its own unit most of the time. Throughout my stay, Jenifer was very responsive and accommodating, quickly resolving minor issues that came up. I would absolutely recommend this space and Jenifer as a host to anyone interested in staying in the Seattle area.
