I lived here for 2 years and overall, it's a pretty nice experience. Pros: I personally really like the giant mirror on the bedroom closet door. Our bedrooms (3b2.5b) have either west or south facing window so we got plenty of sunshine, which could get pretty hot in the summer. The living room's huge, and the kitchen layout's decent too. We never had serious problem with mold but yeah in terms of bugs, it's an old building. Before electricity(the management team takes care of internet and water/garbage), we pay $1050/month per person, and we all agree this is very reasonable for Seattle. There's not much other amenities. Package locker is a bonus and I never lost package here. It's also very walkable to the campus and grocery stores and public transportation. It's really good in terms of how much they ask for and it's Seattle. Cons: laundry room. The price for laundry keeps going up and now it's $5 for a full load of laundry (wash&dry). There's only 4 washers and 4 dryers for building 1, so yeah, this is the biggest inconvenience living here. My bedroom's the top floor and right next to i5, so it could be pretty noisy at night, in addition to construction in the neighborhood during daytime. The new management team seems not as sharp as what we had before. It took them a month to fix my blinds. Lastly, there's no guest parking available so you need to figure out yourself where to park when you are moving in/out. 1 month move out update: we are charged almost $500 for cleaning fee. Probably get your own cleaning service if you want to avoid this. (We vacuumed everywhere so it's really not dirty.)
