The photos of the apartment are quite representative. It's nice and spacious for two and in a great location: there are several restaurants and a corner store a couple blocks away, and small walkways or stairs that will take you down to Lake Washington, with a nice walk/bike path, a really nice little market (including several kinds of house made sausage and a large wine selection), and another few restaurants. The number 2 bus runs from nearby to downtown and was very convenient - no need to bother with parking; we didn't look into other possibilities but there might be more. Should you feel like cooking, the kitchen is nicely laid out. The neighborhood is quiet and leafy and we'd certainly stay there again when in Seattle.
