The location is pretty outstanding if you want to be in the university district. The apartment is easy to get to and access. We were there on a warm weekend and there was no AC, but once we got the fans running it felt great. That being said, it can be a bit noisy being in the middle of the Ave, especially with the windows cracked, but that is part of the territory. We had a great time in Seattle and would certainly recommend this place if the university district is where you want to be.
