Melissa was very accommodating with our needs and late check-in, and communicated very well in the days leading up to our trip. If you need a clean, simple place to stay in this neighborhood it's a pretty decent deal. If you're a light sleep you might want to bring earplugs only because the walls and floors are a bit thin and we could hear the people above us walking quite clearly.
Access to public transportation was good and you can consistently get from there to Capitol Hill or further downtown in about 40-45 minutes. Very linear and straightforward to navigate.
There's a Safeway grocery store just down the street, a Top Pot donut and — my personal favorite —a little bakery called Grateful Bread! Highly recommend going there for breakfast for good pastries, coffee and people/dog watching.
