The apartment is beautifully decorated, with fantastic art work, a spacious kitchen with thoughtful touches like coffee and tea, wonderful board games, art books, a TV with Roku, etc. The ceiling height is low, as one would expect from a basement apartment, but we knew that going in. Given the unseasonable heat, the basement location was a real welcome bonus--much cooler down there and we were grateful for it! I was traveling with two teens and they appreciated having their own space (my son on the sofa bed and daughter in the twin bedroom). So much better than being crammed into a hotel room! It was lovely to meet Valerie, who was very kind and welcoming. We really liked the neighborhood, which was convenient to transit and had some nice pubs and cafes nearby, as well as a large park. Perfect location to access Capital Hill and Seattle just north and Sea-Tac Airport. We hope to stay again someday!
