This apartment is in the perfect position for a person without a car. It is close to bus lines to Wedgewood, U Washington, Fremont, and central Seattle, all places I wanted to visit. It is also only about 2 blocks from the link light rail, another plus. Also close to grocery stores and restaurants and banks. The apartment looks a bit run-down, but it is clean. It had all necessary items (for me) in the kitchen. The heating worked well. Although it seems to sleep 4-5 people, I think any more than 3 would be too crowded for comfort. I was not troubled by any noise (I'm used to living in a city, though) Melissa was very helpful and friendly. She did not answer any texts I sent to her phone number, but she answered messages promptly when I sent them through airbnb; I strongly recommend you use airbnb to communicate. The wifi usually worked well, but there were some instances of it cutting out briefly. All in all I was happy with this apartment.
