The location was ideal for me — I was doing a residency at a nearby university, and free parking was a nice plus. Beyond that, the place was just okay, with nothing particularly remarkable about it.
A few things to flag for future guests:
The check-in process was more cumbersome than most rentals I’ve stayed at, including very specific arrival time requirements. I understand this ties to the building’s security standards, but it’s worth knowing going in.
The rental terms also come with a long list of potential fees. I understand wanting to keep things organized, but it’s excessive to the point that you become paranoid about making a mistake during your stay.
I happened to visit during two unusually hot days — not typical for the Pacific Northwest, but with the warmer trend this year, AC matters more than it used to. The unit only has a portable AC that exhausts out the bedroom window. It’s not very effective, and because it’s confined to the bedroom, the living room stays uncomfortably hot. Unless you’re directly in front of the vent, you don’t feel much.
A couple of smaller notes: the 3-in-1 body wash/shampoo/conditioner had an off odor — I’d recommend bringing your own toiletries. The kitchen has the basics but was out of olive oil during my stay.
Overall, I’d think twice before booking here again and plan to be more thorough when choosing my next rental.
