The apartment is a very good value for Seattle, has a great manager, and is an eclectic and well-maintained apartment. But it is not perfect. To start, the house manual is almost non-existent. Second, The heating system is not first rate- a small gas stove on the lower level, and a small electric heater on a four hour time limiter upstairs. If both are left on all night they will maintain a temperature, but temperature control is not good. And I saw no air conditioning system at all, but it is mentioned in the listing and it is possible that I missed it. But Seattle summers are getting hotter, and if last summer is any indicator, don’t stay in a non-air conditioned place in the summer. In Seattle. Third, as previous reviewers have noted, there is an ant problem, with daily infestation on at least one window, and apparently, some more wide spread issues as well (I had an ant in my scalp when I awoke one morning, although this happened only once during my 3 day stay). Next, the shower leaks on the bathroom floor, a lot. Be sure to use a bath mat. And last, the stairs are not each of equal height…….certainly not a dealbreaker but a hazard to be careful about. In summary, a very good bargain in an expensive city, but certainly not without some issues………I’d stay here again, assuming the ant issue is addressed.
