The apartment is very comfortable! And just a short walk from lots of shops & cafés in Seattle's U District, with lots of buses to Downtown. It was my first visit to Seattle and found the location really convenient, and easy to navigate. The apartment is self-suffiecient, you won't need much if you're only spending a couple of days, I hadn't got the chance to meet Melissa but my stay was very pleasant nonetheless. Notice to light sleepers: it is located on the corner of a fairly busy street, just be aware. Would definitely recommend this place.
