First of all, I have to say that the place is very nice. Washer/dryer is key and layout is nice for our family of 4. Unfortunately, the way the apartment is placed, it feels like a basement apartment. Neighbors walk above your windows looking down into the apartment and with our little ones, we felt like we always had to keep the shades closed so it felt very claustrophobic. Also, since the place is on a hill, you have neighbors that you can hear to the front of the place and above you (back). One night, the neighbors above us came home at 12:45am and were quite loud until 1:15am so it was unfortunate. The property management company was very apologetic the next day. All in all, it was walking distance to the bus stop to get downtown and the parking in the back was key because it is packed in that neighborhood. We loved the neighborhood and felt safe in the upper portions. Good location to get to so much in Seattle which was nice. Personally, I wouldn't stay again simply for the privacy factor but the furnishings and location was great.
