This unit is a comfortable, vintage in-law or garden studio apartment. It is clean and comfortable, has nice natural light and is an excellent value. The area appears to be moving from somewhat edgy to a more mixed or upscale demographic, based upon the construction underway. We found it to be a convenient base of operations, including for walking into the International District and on to other central or downtown areas. Deborah provided excellent instructions and area restaurant, transportation, park and other recommendations. As others have noted, there is a bit of noise from the upstairs unit during the day and early evening, but we were used to that and it didn't bother us at all. We would stay here again.
