Aidas place was close to everything, we were able to drive to the space needle, downtown, lake Washington, ferries, university village, and much more within 10-15 min. There are many coffee shops and restaurants close by along with Trader Joe’s and a vibrant night life if you are into that.
The university district itself is a mixed experience. About 3-4 blocks away was a nicer part of the neighborhood, but 1-2 blocks away was a less safe feeling vibe. I think it’s partly do to the freeway being close.
We brought our 3 young kids which always makes things trickier. It was a bonus to have a trundle bed and crib. Very nice. But frustrating to navigate around very steep stairs.
The kitchen and living spaces were very cozy and clean. We had just about everything we could need during our stay.
