My parents and I stayed at Melissa's apartment for a week and it was great! As tourists we didn't spend much time at the apartment but it had just what we needed: enough space and beds to sleep, a nice equipped kitchen and a bathroom. The apartment is in a really good location; close from the University of Washington and a nice shopping center (University village), a 2 minute walk from the bus stops that will take you downtown (or anywhere) and if you like to walk/run the Burke-Gilman trail is really close.
Melissa was very attentive, responsive, and accommodating. I would definitely stay in Melissa's apartment again.
