Pros: Very close to the U District station, has a full kitchen, the bed was pretty comfy, and there was very generous closet space. Melissa was also very flexible about our early check-in.
Cons: This is literally the only building standing on the block (the "exterior" photo is clearly outdated); there is active construction on all three sides of the building, even early in the morning on the weekends. The place also needed a bit of airing out; it was a bit musty with the windows closed, but of course, with the windows open the construction noise (and likely dust, particles, etc) get in more easily. The blinds also need to be replaced, as many slats were missing or broken.
