I live in the neighborhood and rented this apt for my family who were visiting me from out of town. The location alone earns this place 5 stars—in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, on the bus line (bus 12) and only 2 miles from downtown. There’s also a family friendly park less than half a mile away— Miller Park. If you want to cook your own food, Safeway (grocery store) is about half a mile away. The kitchen is fully equipped for all your cooking needs. Otherwise there are plenty of places to eat right on 19th—also half a mile from the apt. The apt itself is very spacious and does not get hot even when the Seattle sun is in full baking mode in July. The pull out couch is a favorite—great for people that like a firm mattress. On the other hand, the bed is very soft for those that prefer to sleep in a cloud. Plenty of towels, toiletries and bedding. Very, very comfortable and cozy stay for a week. I would put up my family in this apt again.
