This listing is obviously a business/investment endeavor for the owner, and not her own personal apartment. That's not to say it didn't work, because it absolutely did. The location is nice and close to the University District, putting a lot of University of Washington at walking distance. Unfortunately, there is construction in the area, and this affects a lot of aspects of staying at this property. The building itself is old with all of the issues of an old building: sloppy locks, stale smelling hallway carpeting, dim lighting, and no elevator.
There is an extremely small parking lot at the rear of the building. In order to park there, I was required to PalPay the owner of this listing $49 to use the parking lot for my three night stay separately from the charges from AirBnB. There is NO other viable parking in the area, so this was required.
The apartment itself is a studio - small living quarters, small kitchenette, small bathroom, and small walk-in closet space. There is no air conditioning, with guest comfort being relegated to a fan in the window. Remember I said earlier that there is active construction in the area, so if you want to sleep comfortably with the fan in the window, be prepared to hear construction worker noises as early as 0600. (They make no bones about making loud noises!) Eventually the construction will be done, so that makes this review a timely endeavor.
The bed is a glorified double-sized cot. It's not the most comfortable, but it works for its function. I slept here alone, but if I'd have brought my partner, we would not have been comfortable sleeping together in this bed.
The shower, like everything else with this apartment, is functional, but not ideal. The water pressure is suboptimal, but if you spend enough time under the trickle, you can get yourself clean with enough soap and fortitude.
As for having a good meal, there is no microwave, so be prepared to use a 50+ year old oven if you want to prepare any food while you stay here. At least there's a rice cooker and electric teapot provided.
If you're looking for the Ritz Carlton, this ain't it. If you don't mind accommodations just a tick above Fort Benning or Fort Jackson, this one works just fine. I was in a pinch and this property worked out successfully for me.
