Trish was very welcoming and was a great resource as I searched for my own apartment in Seattle. Her home is north of downtown but I took the bus into the city regularly and it was only half an hour on a single bus. The southbound stop is kitty-corner and the northbound stop is literally at her driveway which was fantastic. I arrived a bit early and she was great about having the room ready for me before the scheduled check-in time.

The room is as pictured, and the bathroom has plenty of space - shower pressure is great. I got my own shelf in the fridge for my food and access to all her dishes which kept my costs low.

The neighborhood is mostly residential, though I didn't spend much time exploring it. Just a few stops south on the bus around 85th, there are a bunch of shops and restaurants which were fun to wander a bit.
