If you have to stay in the city (I REALLY dislike staying in cities), then Donna’s is the place to be! It is in a super clean and quiet area without all the grime and noise of other parts of the city. Parking is off the street and down a CLEAN and spacious alley. And the lake with its biking/hiking path is less than a block away. Donna’s place itself is also clean and quiet and spacious for a Seattle studio. I did occasionally hear footsteps from upstairs but I didn’t hear conversations or any other noise from any of the units around me. The water pressure was great and there was plenty of hot water and the Internet was strong and stable. The mini refrigerator was nice and cold and the microwave worked great. The bed was very comfortable. The heating also works well but it does take a little while to warm the place up. There is nothing like a full kitchen or a kitchen sink so it isn’t a good place to be cooking full meals, but there is a dining table with stools plus Donna has provided dishes and paper towels and other things to make it easy to do simple meals or take out there. The bathroom sink is large, which makes it easy to wash up dishes. It isn’t the ideal location to use the television as a computer monitor, since it is small and mounted higher up on the wall. And for this reason, it is also not the ideal place to do movie marathons although there are plenty of movie channels available and the small screen is good quality. But it is more the sort of place that is like a really nice hotel room in a really amazing and convenient location - good for trips in which you plan to be working or touring around the city most of the time and not lounging there cooking and watching TV all day. Donna is easy to reach and her directions on getting to the parking spot are stellar! I found it exactly as she described 😊
