If you are looking for a good value in a pragmatic place to stay in north Seattle for an individual or a couple this should be perfect for you. However, if you are looking for charm or elegance then look elsewhere. Actually it reminds me of the well-loved basement studio I lived in as a graduate student, but this place is much more functional. It has everything I was looking for: location, full kitchen, laundry facilities, and off-street private parking. I also appreciate that it is quiet. And Matt made everything easy. I will certainly consider going back the next time I'm in Seattle.
