Melissa was an excellent host. She was very responsive and the place was well prepared for us. She even brought us an iron when we asked for one. The apartment was a well kept place with a full kitchen available. The place was also nicely located in terms of UW. As graduate students there briefly for a conference, the place served our purposes well. It's not a jaw-dropping luxurious place -- but its nice and clean as the listing emphasizes. The one negative if you are a shower lover is that the shower can't handle hot water for very long. Aside from that, I had no complaints.
