The location was great for commuting to Seattle Pacific College. The host and I never got to meet due to conflicting schedules. The apartment was relatively true to the photos, though not quite as clean in the kitchen area (dusty). The bedroom (bottom floor one) is quite snug and simple (photos are accurate) and was clean - though I do have a problem with former guests being required to strip and make the bed for the next guest which is questionable quality control, along with charging the guests a hefty cleaning fee on top of that. Bathrooms, though shared, were relatively clean. It's a very simple, bare bones room good to sleep and go (also quiet). The backyard patio was completely unkempt and unusable unless the guest wants do to some significant cleaning/washing of the furniture. It looked as though it hadn't been cleaned since last fall. Bottom line - if you just need a crash pad, this will work.
