I spent a little over a month at Ahmadreza's studio when I first moved to Seattle. It is a very cozy space, but still has plenty of room, and the views are amazing.
Even as a former suburb-dweller, I can say that street parking is very easy, and there were always spots available on the block.
I enjoyed walking up and down the hill to check out the neighborhood and go to some of the bars and restaurants close by. Definitely bring a good pair of shoes for walking though, as some of the streets in Seattle are very steep.
