Overall, I enjoyed my September 1-month stay in the apartment. I was working remotely, and the wifi was adequate. The separated kitchen made a sunny, adequate office area, though the folding chairs were not good for working all day. The mattress and bedding were comfortable, but the bedframe is quite shaky. I was ok staying there alone; but wouldn't recommend that bed for a couple. The kitchen and bath were original 1930s or 40s, very basic and not well equipped or supplied. No rice cooker, coffee maker or toaster, but there was a microwave. I liked the private entrance to the apartment, which made it easy for me to take my bike in and out. The windows were hard to open and most didn't have screens. Not all the venetian blinds worked, and they were very dusty. The block was fairly quiet for the U District - not much traffic or partying, though there was some, and you have to hope for quiet guests upstairs, because you do hear them walking around, etc. The location was convenient for walking or biking to UW, U Village, and the Burke Gilman Trail. I only had a car a couple days and was able to find street parking for it, but was perhaps lucky not to get a ticket as there are posted signs saying permit parking only. It was a very convenient location with a bike, as it is a hop to the B-G Trail, which takes you to the lightrail station (a bit over a mile), UW medical center and UW campus. The CO2 monitor went off at 7 on a Saturday morning, and I thought, and told Melissa, it was the smoke alarm, which I disabled. She replied that she needed more sleep and would come by later. I ended up waiting over 6 hours before she came, and it loudly went off every few minutes during that time. With the monthly rate, I thought it was reasonable value, but won't stay there again.
