The location of the apartment is in a prime spot next to the university, which is beautiful and a major landmark in the city. The University District always has a lot going on, which made it a great location in the city for the summer. There were tons of restaurants on the Ave and downtown was just a quick bus ride away.

In addition, this apartment is located just one or a few blocks away from bus stops that can take you to all the popular neighborhoods within the city, such as Fremont, Capitol Hill, Ballard, East Lake, South Lake Union, Seattle Center, and Pike/Pine.

The apartment itself is clean and well laid out. No repairs needed to be made to the apartment during our three months there. Melissa is responsive to any texts or calls that we had about the apartment.

The kitchen is small but well equipped for any food that you would want to cook. The beds are also comfortable but be warned that the couch is not comfortable enough for someone to sleep on. The closet is massive and will be able to hold all your clothes for sure as two of us kept all our clothes we needed for three months in it. The bathroom is small but had enough storage space. Shower has good water pressure and we never ran out of hot water like the listing had warned us. The neighbors are also quiet and friendly.

The dump truck mentioned in a previous post is a real concern if you are not a heavy sleeper. It came for us only once a week early in the morning so it wasn't as big of a concern for us but it is loud as the apartment window is directly above the dumpster.

Melissa also helped us get parking spots for our time at the apartment. This was crucial for us because parking is especially difficult and expensive in the city of Seattle. Since we were there for three months, it was very assuring that we had safe, affordable, and accessible spots for the whole time there.
