I stayed in the apartment for three weeks and enjoyed the stay very much! It was a good value compared to the other listings and the space felt roomy. It was convenient to have a kitchen, with an oven, microwave, fridge, and a few pots and pans. The area felt safe and was less than one mile walk to lots of restaurants, a Trader Joe's, the university, and bus lines to various areas like downtown, Capital Hill, and Fremont. It was also very close to the Burke Gilman trail. Melissa was a good host. She stopped by when I arrived to make sure I was okay and communicated regularly to make sure I had what I needed. She refilled my soap and toilet paper. The bed was very comfy! The only reason I am giving it four stars is because the garbage trucks came several times as late as midnight and as early as 5 am and the light shined through the blinds (no curtains) so it was hard to sleep a full night. However, this was conveyed to me so it was expected.
