Four stars-a great value and good for long term stays. Can’t beat the location and very nice host!
Pros-comfy bed, kitchen and fridge availability, can’t beat the location with convenient nearby bus stops. 0.5 mi to two grocery stores and a nice mall 0.7 mi away. Within 2 blocks is a nice coffee shop that was great to study, along with a couple restaurants and the best chocolate maker in Seattle. Charlie was also very good at communicating and promptly responded to and addressed my requests.
Cons-a little dirty (I had to vacuum and dust my room when I arrived). Definitely not a 5 star hotel but I wasn’t expecting that. Kitchen could’ve been cleaner especially the counters, stove, and microwave but the sponge was replaced when I asked. Bathroom sink, toilet, and shower were all clean. A vacuum was available for me to use. There were no issues with bugs/other pests and the kitchen trash was emptied frequently.
Aside from the kitchen and bathroom there were no other common spaces. WiFi was good quality and fast.
The other tenants were very quiet and respectful of the space, I barely saw them and I never had any issues. I felt very safe living there for a month as a woman by myself. My room had its own lock and the house had a lock as well. The area is residential and very quiet.
In all, not the fanciest but it more than did the job. A great location and great host made my stay a good one!
