For the location, this is an good place to stay, especially if you need a place for a few days to visit the University of Washington. On street parking was never an issue over 30 days, a lot of restaurants/shopping/grocery stores are within walking distance, and the trail near the apartment leads right into the University. Aesthetically the unit is outdated, especially the appliances and bathroom. It's serviceable and everything more or less worked fine. However, an inexpensive (relative to Seattle) hotel has nicer fixtures, furniture and beds. The unit is very spacious and has a full kitchen, plus in unit washer and dryer, as its big draws. Melissa is a very good host, and if you need a few days to stay near the university, this is a good option.
