I used to work in this neighborhood, so it feels like home to me. A quick walk to the light rail will take you almost anywhere you need to go, a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's nearby for those nights when you need a homemade meal, and a historic theater for when you need a few hours in the dark.
The house was perfect for our needs, and we didn't actually spend much time at the house outside of sleeping. The beds were comfy. No AC, but not many in the PNW do, so I wasn't surprised by that. Quiet neighborhood but super accessible to the rest of the city.
