We live in Seattle but needed a place to stay during a home renovation. We chose this place because of its location near our home. On the positive side, the location is fantastic. It's right near Green Lake, the most popular park in the city, and there are great restaurants just a minute away as well as a grocery store and drug store. The public transit is excellent. Also, the price is reasonable.
However, there are many drawbacks to this place. While it wasn't unhealthy, I was not impressed with the general level of cleanliness. And as other reviews have noted, there is an ant problem. The furniture seems to be Motel 6 castoffs, although the bed was comfortable and there was a Roku box for the TV. The kitchen situation was laughable. There was no sponge to wash the dishes. The silverware drawer had one knife in it. There was nothing provided to make coffee. We stayed here during the COVID pandemic and planned to make most of our meals, so this was an added hassle. Also, there is almost no street parking in the vicinity. Because I live in Seattle, I must warn you NOT to park near the park-and-ride lot as suggested. The lot is a high car-prowl area probably due to homeless activity. Wherever you park, make sure that there is nothing left in your car. I parked my car in a residential area south of the lake and walked about 5-10 minutes back to the unit.
Our stay was disappointing. If you're on a budget and don't mind the cheap motel vibe, this might be worth considering.
