Our family was in town for the Seattle marathon and we wanted to stay relatively close to the starting line in the U District. The location was perfect with easy access to restaurants and coffee shops. Check-in and check-out was smooth and the host did a wonderful job including guidance in the apartment for our stay. The bottle of wine provided was a nice touch. However, the unit was a ground floor unit with someone staying above us. They were very noisy at inconvenient hours when we wanted a good night's sleep for the race. There was loud banging and what sounded like someone running back and forth beginning at around 6:30 am each morning. On 2 of the 5 nights we were there, the noise occurred between midnight and 2 am. I would recommend the unit for its location, comfortable bed and cleanliness but be prepared if you are a light sleeper!
