Melissa is a great host! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate for our early arrival. We had an issue with the TV antenna missing when we arrived but Melissa was able to replace it within a few days.
The unit itself was neat and clean. The kitchen was stocked with various pots/pans and utensils if you needed to cook. Bathroom had shampoo/soap/conditioner/lotion as well as a small and large towel per guest. No AC as advertised but there was a fan. Even then we didn’t really need it as long as we had the windows open to let some air in. Neighbors and neighborhood were pretty quiet in general. The unit is facing a little alleyway that leads into a street so we’d hear some voices of people passing by late at night but nothing too bad.
Its about 10-15 minutes walking distance from UW and 20 from the closest train station at the end of UW. The closest bus stop was 5 min away. There are also several convenience stores within a 10 min walk and Portage Bay Cafe is one street over for breakfast or brunch.
Melissa’s place was a good price compared to other places and hotels around Seattle and we had a really pleasant stay overall.
